A bond has three important components namely; face value, interest rate and time. Multiply these three parts then you’ll get the bond.
Given:
Face value of $790,000
Interest rate of 10%
Time which is semiannually
Formula: FV x interest x time = bond
$790,000 x 0.10 x 0.50 = $39,500
The amount paid to the bondholders for each semiannual interest payment is $39,500
