Answer 2

Answer:

$50

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah has a $2000 bond with a 5% coupon.

She will receive in a year = 5% of $2,000

                                          = 5/100 × 2000

                                          = 0.05 × 2,000

                                          = $100

In 6 months she will receive = $100/ 2

                                               = $50

Sarah receive $50 for this bond every 6 months.
