Respuesta :

Answer:

$1,015,000

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
