    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
