    The periodic interest payment is $6000. So, option A is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    The coupon rate that is quoted on the bonds is always the rate for the whole year. Thus, a 4% coupon rate means a rate of interest of 4% for the whole year. The bonds are semi annual bonds which means the interest of 4% for the whole year is paid in two stages, after every 6 months.

    The semiannual rate of interest is thus = 4% / 2 = 2%

    The coupon is paid on the face value of the bond. The interest payment every six month or the periodic interest payment is,

    Interest payment-periodic = 300000 * 0.02 = 6000
