Answer:
a) $397320
Step-by-step explanation:
Total premium of bond = Issue price - Par value
Total premium of bond = $7,029,000 - $6,600,000
Total premium of bond = $429,000
Total Annual payment to be made by firm = Coupon rate* par value of bond
= 0.09*$6,600,000
= $594,000
Interest part of the total annual payment made by firm = Market rate*Issue price of bond
= 0.08*$7,029,000
= $562,320
Premium of bond to be amortized at the end of year 1 = Total Annual payment to be made by firm - Interest part of the total annual payment made by firm
= $594,000 - $562,320
= $31,680
Unamortized premium at the end of year 1 = total premium of bond - amortized premium at the end of year 1
= $429,000 - $31,680
= $397,320
