    Option D, a debit of $4,500 to loss on bond redemption

    Explanation:

    The amount of cash payable to investors on redemption is $600,000*106%=$636,000

    The entries to be passed are:

    Dr Bonds payable $600,000

    Dr Premium on the bond ($631,500-$600,000) $31,500

    Dr Loss on redemption ($636,000-$631,500) $4,500

    Cr Cash $636,000

    The correct option is a debit of $4,500 to loss on bond redemption

    Option A is wrong because it should be been a debit to bonds premium not a credit

    Option B is wrong because the actual loss is $4,500 not $31,500

    Option C is also incorrect because no gain was made on redemption
