Answer:
- 34 coupons.
- $33.75
Explanation:
The coupons are the interest payments the bond makes.
1. The bond has a term of 17 years and coupons are to be paid semi-annually.
This means that for every year, 2 coupon payments will be made.
In 17 years therefore:
= 17 * 2
= 34 coupons
2. The interest on this bond is 6.75% in a year. The coupon is however, semi-annual. Payment per coupon will therefore be half of the yearly rate:
= 6.75% * 1,000 * 1/2
= $33.75
