Fred purchases a bond, newly issued by the Big Time Corporation, for $10,000. The bond pays $400 to its holder at the end of the first, second, and third years and pays $10,400 upon its maturity at the end of four years. The principal amount of this bond is $10000, the coupon rate is 4%, and the term of this bond is four years.

Explanation: The maturity of the bond is at 4 years.

Its future value or face value is 10000.

The coupon rate is equal to [tex]\frac{Cupon}{Face value}[/tex] x 100

So Coupon rate = [tex]\frac{400}{10000}[/tex] x 100 = 4%
