    Amount of Premium to be amortised per interest payment=Total Premium/No of times interest will be paid over life of the bond

    =40000/20

    =$2000

    No of Interest payments made upto 1st July Year 6=11 times

    Premium Amortised upto 1st July=Amount of Premium to be amortised per interest payment*No of payments made upto 1st July, Year6

    =2000*11

    =$22000

    Carrying amount of Bond as on 1sy July, Year 6 = Face Value of Bond-Premium Amortised upto 1st July, Year 6

    =1040000-22000

    =$1018000

    Gain / (Loss) on Amortisation=Amount Paid-Carrying Value of Bond

    =1010000-1018000

    =$8000
