    d. $14,747,642

    Explanation:

    For computing the carrying value of the bonds, first we have to determine the discount amortization for 3 years which are shown below:

    = (Issued amount - proceeds from the bonds) : time period * number of years

    = ($15,000,000 - $14,703,109) : 20 years * 3 years

    = $44,533.80

    Now the carrying value would be

    = Proceeds from the bonds + discount amortization for 3 years

    = $14,703,109 + $44,533.80

    = $14,747,642
