CHALLENGE PROBLEM

The long-term liabilities section of Guyton Enterprises follows. The bonds outstanding on January 1, 20-1, have an annual coupon rate of 4% and had been issued several years ago at a price to yield 5% per year. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method. On December 31, 20-1, $900,000, 5% bonds were issued at a price to yield 6%.

REQUIRED

Compute the cash received from issuing the bonds on December 31, 20-1. (Hint: If you have not covered the effective interest method, assume that bond interest expense for 20-1 was $44,767.)
