Tamarisk Company commonly issues long-term notes payable to its various lenders. Tamarisk has had a pretty good credit rating such that its effective borrowing rate is quite low (less than 8% on an annual basis). Tamarisk has elected to use the fair value option for the long-term notes issued to Barclays Bank and has the following data related to the carrying and fair value for these notes. Any changes in fair value are due to changes in market rates, not credit risk.

December 31, 2017		$58,600		$58,600
December 31, 2018		47,000		45,500
December 31, 2019		32,400		34,600
