Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the coupon rate is as follows

But before that we have to determine the PMT which is shown below

Given that

PV = $134,996

FV = $100,000

NPER = 11 × 2 = 22

RATE = 4.03% ÷ 2 = 2.015%

The formula is shown below

= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the PMT is $4,000

Now the coupon rate is

= Coupon payment ÷ Par value  × 2

= $4,000  ÷ 100,000  × 2

= 8%
