Question
A 3% coupon rate bonds issued in Australia pays coupons
A. $6 in total per year
B. $30 twice a year
C. $3 once a year
D. $1.5 twice a year
Solution
The coupon rate of a bond is the annual interest rate the issuer will pay to the bondholder. It's expressed as a percentage of the bond's face value.
Let's break down each option:
A. 200 because 3% of 6.
B. 1000 because 3% of 30. However, since it's paid twice a year, the total annual payment would be 30.
C. 100 because 3% of 3.
D. 100 because 3% of 3. However, since it's paid twice a year, each payment would be $1.5.
So, the correct answer depends on the face value of the bond. If the face value is 1000, the answer is B. If the face value is $100, the answer could be either C or D, depending on whether the coupon is paid once or twice a year.
