(1) if purchased at par, at the par value; and
(2) if purchased above or below par, on the basis of the purchase price adjusted so as to bring the value to par at maturity and so as to yield in the meantime the effective rate of interest at which the purchase was made.

C. No such security shall be carried at above the call price for the entire issue during any period within which the security may be so called, and premiums paid at purchase shall be amortized by the scientific method to the first call date at which the entire issue may be redeemed.
