    Computation of bonds sale amounts
    Selling price amount = $ 60,000 What is the price?

    Less brokerage fee of $ 200
    What is the cost of the bonds?
    what would be the gain on Sale?

    what is the accrued interest

    Amount = $ 60,000 x 7 and half interest rate x portion of year.

    Please keep in mind the bond is sold 102 plus accrued interest at $ 60, 000.

    divide the selling price of the bonds by 1.02 since it is the market value. The qoutient of the would be the face value of bonds.

    accured inerest would be equal to the interest rate per month of the bond multiplied by the no. of months held.

    multiply the fac value of the bond by 1.01. Add accrued interest also add interest accrued if any. The total would be the purchase price. You didn't specify the date of acquisition of the bonds.
