Part A
(A) Bonds Payable
This is always the face value, so $200,000
(B) Unamortized premium (or discount)
$0, since the bonds are issued at 100%
(C) Carrying value (CV)
CV = Face value - Discount on bonds payable OR Face value + Premium on bonds payable, so $200,000
Part B
(A) Bonds Payable
This is always the face value, so $200,000
(B) Unamortized premium (or discount)
Since the bonds are issued at 97, i.e. BELOW face value, there would be a discount of $6,000 ($200,000 x 3%)
(C) Carrying value
CV = Face value - Discount, so $200,000 - $6,000 = $194,000 (proof: $200,000 x 0.97)
Part C
(A) Bonds Payable
This is always the face value, so $200,000
(B) Unamortized premium (or discount)
Since the bonds are issued at 101, i.e., ABOVE face value, there would be a premium of $2,000 ($200,000 x 1%)
(C) Carrying value
CV = Face value + Premium, so $200,000 + $2,000 = $202,000 (proof: $200,000 x 1.01)
