Face value of each bond = $100.00
Face value of of total 7% bond = $30,600,000.00
Number of bonds issued = $30,600,000.00 / $100.00
= 306,000 bonds
Accrued Interest on March 1, 2020 = $30,600,000.00 * 7% *(2months / 12 months)
= $30,600,000.00 *7% * 2/12
= $357,000.00
Cash collected on the date of issue:
= 306,000 bonds * $97.00 + Accrued Interest
= $29,682,000 + $357,000
= $30,039,000.00
