Answer:

$93,000,000

Explanation:

On the issue date, Brown Co. will receive cash equal to:

  • the face value of the bond times 90% = $100,000,000 x 90% = $90,000,000
  • plus accrued interest on the bonds = $100,000,000 x 12% x 3/12 = $3,000,000

total cash received on April 1, 2021 = $90,000,000 + $3,000,000 = $93,000,000
