Example

Suppose you own a hypothetical security. The security, which pays interest only at maturity, was originally issued at $1000 (invest-amount) on December 14, 2008 (settle), matures on June 30, 2015 (maturity), and has a nominal interest or discount rate (annual-rate) of 6.5%, calculated on a 30/360 days basis.

=RECEIVED(“12/14/2008”, “06/30/2015”, 1000, 0.065, 0) returns approximately 1,740.30745431693, the amount to be received at maturity, including both principal and interest.
