Answer 1

Answer:

$33,750

Explanation:

Given that

Bond per share = $750,000

Issued Amount = 9%

The computation of amount which is to be paid to the bondholders for every semi-annual interest payment is given below :-

Interest payment = bond per share × issued amount × (number of months ÷ total number of months in a year)

= $750,000 × 9% × 6 months ÷ 12 months

= $33,750
