    December 31th, 2018 the bondholder will receive $ 2,160

    Explanation:

    The bondholders will get the face value times the bond rate:

    In this case:

    $ 48,000 principal

    9% = 9/100 = 0.09 annual rate = 0.09/2 = 0.045 coupon rate

    We divide by 2 as there is two payment per year thus, the principal capitalize for 6 month over a total of 12 between payments.

    bonholders payment:

    principal x semiannual rate:

    $ 48,000 x 0.045 = $ 2,160
