Cannot get bond investment to calculate correctly

Hi

I have found this problem both with Microsoft Money 2003,
and 2004.
I am running Windows 98SE.
I have found a problem whenever I use Money to enter a
debenture stock item.

If I have invested in 5000 units at $1.00, the programme
automatically arrives at a total of $50.

Has anyone found this same problem?

Bond prices are entered as a percent of par/face value.

Enter Quantity 5000 for $5000 face value, and tab to the Total to
enter what you paid. Let Money compute the price.
