Morrison Corporation's comparative financial statements included the following amounts for the current year: maturity is 16.5 years from now. Yield to maturity = 3.6%. Par value = $2,000. Current price = $1,578. Bond payments are semiannual. What is the coupon rate?
M = $2,000, n = 16.5 * 2 = 33 semi-annual periods, i = 3.6%/2 = 1.8% (semi-annually), P = $1,578
C = $18.93 (semi-annual)
Annual Coupon = 2 * 18.93 = $37.86
Coupon Rate = $37.86/$2000 = 1.89%
