Answer: $330

Step-by-step explanation:

The Net cash received is the Total Money received minus the Total money paid.

The total money paid is calculated as such,

= $1,000 x 97%( this a DISCOUNT bond meaning that it was sold for less than Par. This number signifies how much in percentage of Par it was purchased for)

= $970

$970 is the Total Amount paid.

The Total Amount Received would be,

= Principle on Maturity + Interest for 5 years

= 1,000 + 1,000(0.06) * 5 years

= $1,300

Net Cash Received is therefore,

= Total Amount Received - Total Amount Paid

= 1,300 - 970

= $330

$330 is the net cash received over the life of the bond investment.
