7/1/2018	$90,000	$82,208	$7,792	$1,414,292
1/1/2019	$90,000	$97,792	$7,792	$1,422,083

7/1/2023	$90,000	$97,792	$7,792	$1,492,208
1/1/2024	$90,000	$97,792	$7,792	$1,500,000
Cash Received = $1,500,000 x 12% x 1/2
Discount Amortization = ($1,500,000 - $1,406,500)/12 = $7,792
Interest revenue = Cash Received - Discount amortized
