    The correct answer is option (a).

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

    Purchase Bonds = 60

    Purchased bonds value = $60,000

    So Purchased value of 30 bonds = $60,000 : 2 = $30,000

    Sold 30 bonds at value = $32,000

    So, we can calculate the gain on sale by using following formula:

    Gain on sale = Sold 30 bonds at value - Purchased value of 30 bonds

    By putting the value, we get

    = $32,000 - $30,000

    = $2,000
