On January 1, Ayayai Corp. issues $4650000, 5-year, 12% bonds at 97 with interest payable on January 1. What is the carrying value of the bonds at the end of the third interest period?
$4454700
$4398900
$4566300
$4594200
Issue price of bonds = 4650000*97/100 = 4510500
Discount on bonds payable = 4650000-4510500 = 139500
Annual amortization = 139500/5 = 27900
Unamortized discount at the end of third interest period = 139500-(27900*3) = 55800
Carrying value = Face value-Unamortized discount on bonds
= 4650000-55800
Carrying value = 4594200
So answer is d) $4594200
