    Explanation:

    The computation of the annual stated interest rate for the debenture bonds is shown below:

    = Annual interest payment : Issued amount of debenture bonds

    where,

    Annual interest payment is

    = $15,000 * 2

    = $30,000

    And, the Issued amount of debenture bonds is $500,000

    So, the annual stated interest is

    = $30,000 : $500,000

    = 6%
