Question

On July 1, 2015, Pryce Co. issued 1,000 of its 10%, $1,000 bonds at 99 plus accrued interest. The bonds are dated April 1, 2015 and mature on April 1, 2025. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1. What amount did Pryce receive from the bond issuance

Answer 1

$1,015,000

Step-by-step explanation:

the issuer will receive = $1,000 x 99% = $990 for each bond

$990 x 1,000 bonds = $990,000

the issuer will also receive accrued interests = $1,000 x 10% x 3/12 months = $25 per bond

$25 x 1,000 bonds = $25,000

in total, the issuer will receive $990,000 + $25,000 = $1,015,000
