Answer:
(b) 2.08
Explanation:
Using caclulator and inputs as present:
n = 10
I/Y = 7.5/2
  =3.75
pmt = 40
FV = 1000
CPT PV = $1020.53
Now we shall create an amortization schedule:
Period  pmt  Interest  End balance Difference(Premium amortized)
1 Â Â $40.00 Â $38.27 Â Â $1,018.80 Â Â Â Â $1.73 Â Â
2 Â Â $40.00 Â $38.21 Â Â $1,017.01 Â Â Â Â $1.79 Â Â
3 Â Â $40.00 Â $38.14 Â Â $1,015.14 Â Â Â Â $1.86 Â Â
4 Â Â $40.00 Â $38.07 Â Â $1,013.21 Â Â Â Â $1.93 Â Â
5 Â Â $40.00 Â $38.00 Â Â $1,011.21 Â Â Â Â $2.00 Â Â
6 Â Â $40.00 Â $37.92 Â Â $1,009.13 Â Â Â Â $2.08 Â Â
Therefore, The amount of premium amortized in the 6th coupon payment is $2.08 Â Â
