Particulars	Amount ($)
Bond liability	120,000
Add: Bond Premium (17)	3,148
Carrying value	123,148

Table (2)

Working note 17: Calculate the total premium on bond:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Total}\text{premium}\text{on}\text{bond}\text{=}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Premium}\text{amortization}-\text{Amortization}\text{of}\text{2014}\\ -\text{Amortization}\text{of}\text{2015}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{=}\text{\$4,920}-\text{\$856}-\text{\$916}\\ \text{=\$3,148}\end{array}$
