On January 1, 2018, the Chaucer’s Restaurant decides to invest in Lake Turner bonds. The bonds mature on December 31, 2023, and pay interest on June 30 and December 31 at 4% annually. The market rate of interest was 4% on January 1, 2018, so the $90,000 maturity value bonds sold for face value. Chaucer’s intends to hold the bonds until December 31, 2023.
