Answer: $412.50
Explanation:
10M bonds refers to bonds that are valued at $10,000.
The interest payment on these debentures are twice in a year meaning that they are semi-annual.
The interest paid is 8 1/4% which is 8.25%.
The interest paid is therefore;
= 8.25% * 10,000
= $825
Interest is stated at an annual rate so this figure is for the year but the interest is to be paid semi-annually;
= 825/2
= $412.50
