Answer 1

$920,266

Step-by-step explanation:

The adjusted unamortized bond premium is the initial bond premium recorded on the issuance of the bond minus the amortized bond premium for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The initial bond premium is $981,878

At year end of the first year the amortized premium is the difference between the interest expense recognized and coupon interest paid in cash .

Interest expense=$8971878*10%=$897,187.80

coupon interest= $7990000*12%=$958,800.00

Amortized bond premium= $958,800.00-$897,187.80=$ 61,612.20

Adjusted unamortized bond premium=$981,878-$61,612.20=$920,265.80
