Option b

b. 2,900,000 4,500,000

Explanation:

Investment classified as trading securities are reported on the balance sheet on its fair market value rather the book value. Reclassification of the bonds of Osgood Corporation requires that now it should be recorded on fair market value and record any Gain or loss.

Face Value of Bonds = $7.4 million = $7,400,000

Fair market Value of the Bonds = $2,900,000

Loss as result of reclassification = Face value of Bonds - Fair Value of Bonds

Loss as result of reclassification = $7,400,000 - $2,900,000

Loss as result of reclassification = $4,500,000
