The answer is the last one (D): credit; Premium.

Explanation for each option:

  • Debit; Discount: This is incorrect because a discount occurs when bonds are sold for less than their face value. In this case, the bonds are sold for more than their face value.
  • Credit; Discount: This is incorrect because a discount would be recorded if the bonds were sold for less than their face value, which is not the case here.
  • Debit; Premium: This is incorrect because a premium is recorded as a credit, not a debit.
  • Credit; Premium: This is correct because the bonds were sold for more than their face value, resulting in a premium. The premium amount of $5,000 (the difference between the sale price of $95,000 and the face value of $90,000) is recorded as a credit to Premium on Bonds Payable.

Summary: The issuer will record the sale with a credit to Premium on Bonds Payable in the amount of $5,000.
