Question

Annapolis Company purchased a $1,000, 6%, 5-year bond at 97 and held it to maturity. The straight line method of amortization is used for both premiums & discounts. What is the net cash received over the life of the bond investment? (all money received minus all money paid, round to nearest whole dollar)

Answer 1

Answer: $330

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.
