(a) If purchased at par, at the par value.
(b) If purchased above or below par, on the basis of the purchase price adjusted so as to bring the value to par at the earliest date callable at par or maturing at par and so as to yield in the meantime the effective rate of interest at which the purchase was made; or in lieu of such method, according to such accepted method of valuation as is approved by the commissioner.
(c) Purchase price shall in no case be taken at a higher figure than the actual market value at the time of purchase.

(2) Such securities not amply secured or in default as to principal or interest shall be carried at market value.
