$100,000


Answer b.

Face Value = $100,000
Current Price = $88,702
Annual Interest rate = 12%
Time to Maturity = 10 years

Let Annual Coupon be $X

$88,702 = $X * PVIFA(12%, 10) + $100,000 * PVIF(12%, 10)
$88,702 = $X * (1 - (1/1.12)^10) / 0.12 + $100,000 / 1.12^10
$88,702 = $X * 5.65022 + $32,197.32
$X * 5.65022 = $56,504.68
$X = $10,000

So, Annual interest payment is $10,000

Answer c.

Coupon Rate = Annual Interest Payment / Face Value
Coupon Rate = $10,000 / $100,000
Coupon Rate = 10%
