C. Assuming a bond is issued at a discount, the carrying value over time should be (Increasing, Decreasing or Staying the same).

D. Assuming a bond is issued at a discount, the interest expense amount calculated every period using the effective interest method should be (Increasing, Decreasing or Staying the same). E. Assuming a bond is issued at a premium, the carrying value over time should be (Increasing, Decreasing or Staying the same).
