Answer: A. debit of $3,745 to Premium on Bonds Payable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The carrying value of the bonds at redemption date is $103,745.

The bonds retired however, had a face value of $100,000.

The company therefore paid a premium on these bonds which is:

= 103,745 - 100,000

= $3,745

This amount will be debited to the Premium on Bonds Payable account.
