    In this question, we take the difference of the per bond value based on the year. The computation is shown below:

    During 2015 to During 2017:

    = Number of bonds purchased * (December 31, 2017 value - 2015 value)

    = 10,000 * ($92 - $61)

    = 10,000 * $31

    = $310,000

    During 2018:

    = Number of bonds purchased * (December 31, 2018 value - 2017 value)

    = 10,000 * ($146 - $92)

    = 10,000 * $54

    = $540,000

    So, the total amount would be

    = $310,000 + $540,000

    = $850,000
