Answer:

$20,000 premium is amortized at the end of the first year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Straight line amortization:

premium amortized = Premium / number of years

= ($5,200,000 - $5,000,000) / 10 years

= $200,000 premium / 10 years

= $20,000

Therefore, $20,000 premium is amortized at the end of the first year.
