Answer:
Unamortized Premium is $324
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will calculate the premium amont of the bond at the time of issuance
Premium on Bond = Issuance value - Face value = $3,405 - $3,000 = $405
Using Straight-line method the premium on the bond will be amortized over the life of the bond
Amortization of Premium = Premium on Bond / Numbers of years to maturity at issuance = $405 / ( January 1, 2034 - January 1, 2024 ) = $405 / 10 = $40.5 per year
Now we will calculate the numbers of years accrued
Numbers of ears accrued = December 31, 2025 - January 1, 2024 = 2 years
Unamortized premium = Total Premium - Amortize Premium = Total Premium - ( Amortization per year x Numbers of year accrued ) = $405 - ( $40.5 x 2 years ) = $324
