Answer:

9%

Explanation:

FV = 1000

No of compounding period = 2

No of years = 10

Nper = 20

Yield to maturity = 6%/2 = 3%

PV = 1223.16

Coupon payment = PMT(Rate, Nper, Pv, Fv)

Coupon payment = $45

Coupon rate = Coupon payment * Compounding per year / FV

Coupon rate = $45 * 2 / 1000

Coupon rate = 0.09

Coupon rate = 9%
