Debt Instrument

I have another question that i am getting confused with.

Lucindy issue a debt instrument on 1 Jan X4 at its nominal value of $4,000,000. The instrument carries a fixed coupon interest rate of 6%, which is payable annually in arrears.
Transaction costs associated with the issue were $200,000. The effective interest rate applicable to this instrument has been calculated at approximately 8.4%.

What are the amounts that should be recorded as the opening liability on 1 Jan X4 and the finance cost in the P & L for year ended 31 Dec X4?

Here i have a feeling i have worked it out the wrong way round.

Opening liability = 4,000,000 – 200,000 = 3,800,000

Finance Cost = 3,800,000 * 8.4% = 319,200
I think i answered correctly if Lucindy has invested rather than being the issuer.

So would the opening Liability be the 4,000,000 (and ignore the transaction costs for the liability)
Finance cost = (4,000,000* 6%) = 240
