Answer:

The net amount of cash received by WilkeCo. as a result of the issuance of these bonds is $ 4153000.

Explanation:

Selling price of the bonds = $ 4000000*103%

                                           = $ 4120000

Accrued interest fro, januaru to february 28 = $ 4000000*9%*2/12

                                                                         = $ 60000

Net amount received = selling price of the bonds + accrued interest from januaru to february 28 - bond insurance cost

                                   =  $ 4120000 + $ 60000 - $27000

                                   = $ 4153000

Therefore, the net amount of cash received by WilkeCo. as a result of the issuance of these bonds is $ 4153000.
