Explanation:

amortization of bond premium for first coupon payment:

($4,300,918 x 6%) - ($4,000,000 x 6.5%) = $258,055.08 - $260,000 = -$1,944.92

amortization of bond premium for second coupon payment:

($4,298,973.08 x 6%) - ($4,000,000 x 6.5%) = $257,938.38 - $260,000 = -$2,061.62

amortization of bond premium for third coupon payment:

($4,296,911.46 x 6%) - ($4,000,000 x 6.5%) = $257,814.69 - $260,000 = -$2,185.31
