premium amortization year 1 = ($3,385,058 x 9%) - $330,000 = $304,655 - $330,000 = -$25,345

premium amortization year 2 = ($3,359,713 x 9%) - $330,000 = -$27,626

premium amortization year 3 = ($3,332,087 x 9%) - $330,000 = -$30,112

premium amortization year 4 = ($3,301,975 x 9%) - $330,000 = -$32,822
