The Bonds are issued at par, the carrying amount of bonds is the nominal value of bonds issued. However, if the bonds are issued at premium, the carrying amount of bonds in the books will be sum total of nominal value of bonds and the amount of unamortized premium as on particular date shall be taken. When the bonds are issued at discount, then unamortized value of discount on particular date shall be deducted from the nominal value of bonds to arrive at carrying amount of bonds. The computation of carrying amount of bonds to be shown in the books in case of bonds issued at discount or premium need to be determined.

Definition Definition Calculates the present value of a bond's expected future periodic coupon payments. Bond valuation determines the theoretical fair value of a particular bond and helps investors estimate what rate of return they could expect. The bond's theoretical fair value is computed by discounting the future cash flows or coupon payments by an applicable discount rate.

To determine
The Bonds are issued at par, the carrying amount of bonds is the nominal value of bonds issued. However, if the bonds are issued at premium, the carrying amount of bonds in the books will be sum total of nominal value of bonds and the amount of unamortized premium as on particular date shall be taken. When the bonds are issued at discount, then unamortized value of discount on particular date shall be deducted from the nominal value of bonds to arrive at carrying amount of bonds.
The computation of carrying amount of bonds to be shown in the books in case of bonds issued at discount or premium need to be determined.
