    The correct answer is $528,000.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

    Bonds price = $550,000

    issued rate = 96%

    So, discount rate = 4%

    Discount amount = $550,000 * 4% = $22,000

    So, we can calculate the carrying value by using following formula:

    Carrying value = Bonds price - Discount amount

    = $550,000 - $22,000

    = $528,000.
