Total cash flows received = $ 34,000

Explanation:

Cash flows received in first month = Servicing fees of 0.6% on the outstanding balance + interest for 1 month on the oustanding balance + repayment of 0.2% of the principal

Outstanding balance of tranche A investors = $3,000,000

Hence service fees received = 0.6% x $3,000,000 = $18,000

Interest for one month = WAC x $3,000,000 x 1 / 12 (Rate x Principal x time in year) = 4% x $3,000,000 x 1 / 12 = $ 10,000

Repayment of 0.2% principla = 0.2% x $3,000,000 = $ 6,000

Total cash flows received = $ 18,000 + $ 10,000 + $ 6,000 = $ 34,000
