    Each payment = $37.52778

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Bond value = $1,000

    Current yield = 7.17% = 0.0717

    Bond quoted = 104.68%

    Payment method = Semi-annual = 2 payment

    Computation of annual coupon amount:

    Current yield = Annual coupon / (Bond value * Bond quoted)

    0.0717 = Annual coupon / ($1,000 * 104.68%)

    0.0717 = Annual coupon / ($1,046.8)

    Annual coupon = 0.0717 * $1,046.8

    Annual coupon = $75.05556

    Computation of each payment:

    Each payment = Annual coupon amount / 2 payment

    Each payment = $75.05556 / 2

    Each payment = $37.52778
