MBCC Semiannual Coupon Amount of A Bond Question

 

I’m working on a business question and need guidance to help me learn.

In practice, bonds issued in the United States usually make coupon payments twice a year. So, if an ordinary bond has a coupon rate of 14 percent, then the owner will get a total of $140 per year, but this $140 will come in two payments of $70 each. Suppose we are examining such a bond. The yield to maturity is quoted at 18 percent.
