Respuesta :

Answer:

$675

Explanation:

Given that,

Bonds face value = $2730000

Sell price = $2649000

Period = 10 years

Recall that

Monthly amortization amount = [(Bond face val. - sell. Pr.) ÷ 10] ÷ 12

Therefore

= [($2730000 - $2649000) ÷ 10] ÷ 12

= (81000 ÷ 10 ) ÷ 12

= 8100 ÷ 12

= $675
