Answer:
$14,887.5
Explanation:
Carrying Value of the bond is the net of Face value and any amortised discount on the bond.
Face Value of the bond = $19,000
Issuance Value = $14,300
Discount Value = $19,000 - $14,300 = $4,700
This Discount will be amortized over the bond's life until the maturity on straight line basis.
Amortization in each period = $4,700 / (8x2) = $293.75 semiannually
Until December 31, 2017 two payment have been made and $587.5 is amortized in the two semiannual periods.
Un-amortized Discount = $4,700 - $587.5 = $4,112.5
Carrying value of the bond = Face value - Un-amortized Discount = $19,000 - $4,112.5 = $14,887.5
