        The explanation seems to have incorrect notation and missing the power function. Also I’m not sure whether the bond price stated in the question as 93.50 or 935.0? Because the answer shows 935 but I’ve used 93.50 as what you copied down, but the principle is the same (but assuming a $100 par instead of $1,000 par like the explanation)

        Total future cash flows = 93.50 * (1.035)^ 30 = 262.435

        Bond coupons = 15 * $7 = 105

        Principal repayment = $100

        So reinvestment income = 262.435 – 105 – 100 = $57.435

        What part of the question/answer do you not understand? Will see if I can explain

          Sorry @fp92 – I was not clear enough. I was seeing if you could calculate this problem by using the TVM functions in your calculator. The question did state 93.5 as a FYI
