If bonds with a face value of $ 210 000 are issued at 106​, the amount of cash proceeds is​ ________.

1 answer

To calculate the cash proceeds from the issuance of bonds at a specified price, you need to multiply the face value of the bonds by the price at which they are issued, expressed as a percentage.

In this case, the face value of the bonds is $210,000, and they are issued at 106, which means 106% of the face value.

Here’s how to calculate it:

  1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: 106% = 106/100 = 1.06
  2. Multiply the face value by this decimal:

\[ \text{Cash proceeds} = \text{Face value} \times \text{Issuance price} \]

\[ \text{Cash proceeds} = 210,000 \times 1.06 = 222,600 \]

The amount of cash proceeds from the bond issuance is $222,600.
