Problem
On January 3, 2015, Patel Company acquires $300,000 of Campoverde Company's 10-year, 10% bonds at a price of $313,804 to yield 9%. Interest is payable each December 31. The bonds are classified as held-to-maturity. Assuming that Patel Company uses the straight-line method, what is the amount of premium amortization that would be recognized in 2017 related to these bonds?
