Answer 2

$20

Explanation:

Given : John has a $1000 bond with a 4% coupon.

Solution : How much interest will John receive for this bond every 6 months?

Solution :

Principal(P) = $1000

Rate of interest (R)= 4%= 0.04

Time (T)= 6 months = 0.5 years

Formula of simple interest = Principal*rate*time

= 1000*0.04*0.5

=$20

Thus John will receive $20 for this bond every 6 months
