    At the end of the first year, Borge should report unamortized bond discount of a. $169,470.

    Explanation:

    Solution:

    Interest amount =

    ($2,817,000 * 0.09) - ($3,000,000 * 0.08)

    =$13,530

    Bond Disc. Amount; ($3,000,000 - $2,817,000) - $13,530

    = $183,000 - $13,530

    = $169,470
