Solution :

The cash received on the issue of the bond    785,400    [tex]$=770 \times 1000 \times 102\%$[/tex]

The bond market value without warrant           731,500     [tex]$=770\times 1000 \times 95\%$[/tex]

Bond total par value                                            770,000    [tex]$=770\times 1000$[/tex]

The initial carrying value of the bon payable    $ 746,130    [tex]$=\frac{731,500 \times 785,400}{770,000}$[/tex]

  Thus the initial carrying would be = $ 746,130
