    Face Value of Bonds = $18,000

    Issue Value of Bonds = $18,800

    Premium on Bonds = Issue Value of Bonds - Face Value of Bonds

    Premium on Bonds = $18,800 - $18,000

    Premium on Bonds = $800

    Time to Maturity = 8 years

    Semiannual Period = 16

    Semiannual Amortization of Premium = Premium on Bonds / Semiannual Period

    Semiannual Amortization of Premium = $800 / 16

    Semiannual Amortization of Premium = $50

    Carrying Value = Issue Value of Bonds - Semiannual Amortization of Premium

    Carrying Value = $18,800 - $50

    Carrying Value = $18,750

    So the correct answer is A) 18,750
