Coupon rate = 8.10% stated in annual terms
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Let the semi annual coupon payment be x
Coupon Payment (C) = x
Total periods (n) = 13.5 * 2 = 27
r or YTM = 0.074 * 6/12 = 0.037 or 3.7%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Plugging in the available values, we can calculate the coupon payment to be,
1059 = x * [( 1 - (1+0.037)^-27) / 0.037] + 1000 / (1+0.037)^27
1059 = x * 16.89323812 + 374.9501896
1059 - 374.9501896 = x * 16.89323812
(1059 - 374.9501896) / 16.89323812 = x
x = $40.49252166 rounded off to $40.49
As the semi annual coupon payment is 40.49, the annual payment will be = 40.49252166 * 2 = $80.98504332
As coupon payment is a percentage of the face value of the bond, the annual coupon rate on bond will be = 80.98504332 / 1000 = 8.0985% rounded off to 8.10%
