On January 1, a company issues a $100,000, three-year note that pays 9% interest annually. The market rate on the note is 6%. How much of the note premium should the company amortize in the first year?
I know the asnwer is $2,518.85, but I am unsure how they got it.

Note’s Value (A+B) |
$ 108,019.04 |
Interest Expense = Issue price x Market Interest rate
= 108019.04 x 6% = $ 6,481.14
$ 100,000 x 9% = $ 9,000
= $ 9000 - $ 6481.14
= $ 2,518.86 [or $ 2518.85, rounding off difference exist only]
The difference of $ 0.01 is due to rounding off, but the I’ve explained to you the concept as to how to arrive to the answer.
