Explanation / Answer

Explanation

Interest accrued on December 31, 2014 = 2147202*6%=128,832

Interest payable for 2014 = 2000000*7%=140000

premium amortization for 2014 = 140000-128,832=11,168

carrying value = 2147202-11,168=   2,136,034

Interest accrued for 2015 = 2,136,034*6%=128162

Interest payable for 2015 = 2000000*7%=140000

premium amortization for 2015 = 140000-128162=11,838
