Answer #1

The amount of each coupon payment

The Current market price of the Bond

The Current market price of the Bond = Par Value of the Bond x Percentage of Bond quote

= $1,000 x 97.27%

= $972.70

Annual coupon payment

The Current yield on the Bond = Annual coupon payment / Current market price of the Bond

0.0660 = Annual coupon payment / $972.70

Therefore, the Annual coupon payment = $972.70 x 0.0660

Annual coupon payment = $64.20

The amount of each semi-annual coupon payment

The amount of each semi-annual coupon payment = Annual coupon payment x ½

= $64.20 x ½

= $32.10

“Hence, the amount of each semi-annual coupon payment will be $32.10”
