    A. $3,903,000.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the carrying value of the bond is shown below:

    But before that first we have to do following calculations

    The value of the bonds is

    = $3960,000 - $60,000

    = $39,00,000

    Since it is a accrued interest and the same is to be deducted

    Now the bond sold at discount so the amount would be

    = $4,000,000 - $ 3,900,000

    = $100,000

    And, the period of the bonds is October 1, 2018 to February 1, 2027 i. e 100 months

    = 3 months in 2018 + 96 months + 1 months in 2027

    The 96 months represents the 8 years

    And, discount amortized from October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 is

    = $100,000 * 3 : 100

    = $3,000

    The 3 represents the 3 months and 100 represent the total months

    So, the carrying value of the bonds is

    = $3,900,000 + $3,000

    = $3,903,000
