1. Calculate annual interest payment: $750,000 (face value) * interest rate (as a decimal).

2. Calculate annual amortization of the discount: $725,000 (cash received) - (annual interest payment).

3. Carrying value at the end of the first year = Carrying value at the beginning of the year - Annual amortization of the discount.
