    The semi-annual coupon payment on the three bonds is $52,5

    Explanation:

    The bond pays 3.5 percent annually and ultimately pays 3.5%/2 semi-annually. This means the bond pays 1.75 % coupon interest per year.

    As a result three of the bonds give semi-annual coupon is computed below:

    1.75%*$1000*3=$52.5

    Three of such bonds pay $52.50 in coupon semi-annually.

    It is important to note that coupon interest is calculated on par value while effective interest is computed on issue price.

    Invariably, the three bonds receive the sum of $105 in coupon interest yearly.
