The correct answer is $766,500.

Explanation:

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

Bonds payable = $730,000

Issued at = 105%

So, it means that the premium on payable is 5% of the bonds payable amount

So, Premium on Bonds payable = $730,000 * 5% = $36,500

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

Carrying value = Bonds payable + Premium on Bonds payable

By putting the value, we get

Carrying value = $730,000 + $36,500

= $766,500
