Step-by-step explanation:

The diference between price and face value will be the discount or premium.

Discount when we pay lower than face value and premium when paying above.

To solve for the interest amortization we will multiply the carrying value timesthe market rate of 10%

Forthe first year it will be

419,567.77 x 0.1 = 41,956.78 revenue

cash proceeds 390,000 x 0.12 = 46,800

The difference will be an amortization on the premium

46,800 - 41,956.78 = 4843.22
