Let us go by the logic
The bonds are paying 7% whereas yield is 6%. In other words, if an investor is getting a higher return, he would be willing to pay extra. So the proceeds would be higher than 26,200,000
The proceeds would be the present value of the interest payment as well as principal repayment
