Question

If bonds with a face value of $208,000 are issued at 97, the amount of cash proceeds is ____

Answer 1

Answer:

C) $201,760

Explanation:

To compute the amount of cash proceeds, we have to multiply the bonds face value with the issued price percentage.  

Since only issue price is given, so we assume it is in percentage form because the number of shares is not given in the question. So, we assume this.  

In mathematically,  

Cash proceeds = Face value × 0.97

                          = $208,000 × 0.97

                          = $201,760
