Less: Premium amortized |
$ 16,250.00 |
Bond carrying value |
$ 53,08,750.00 |
Carrying value of bond is at premium so it has to come down to face value at the time bond is redeemed. The amount of $16250 will be deducted every period of interest payment and on the last interest payment bond value will become $5000000.
