Answer:

1,006,400

Explanation:

To know the unamortized portion we have to solve for the amount amortizated at the first payment in December 31th,2021.

Under the effective-rate method we will calculate the amortization as follow:

interest expense:

9,080,000 x 8% = 726,400

cash outlay:

8,000,000 x 10% = 800,000

amortization on premium:

800,000 - 726,400 = 73,600

the unamortized bond premium at year-end should be:

1,080,000 - 73,600 = 1,006,400
