Answer:

C) decrease the carrying value of the bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We calculate the bond premium by subtracting the face value of the bond from the paid amount for it. Then, we have to figure out how many months are left before the bond matures and divide the bond premium by the number of months remaining and this tells us how much to amortize on a monthly basis.
