    Annual coupon payment = $84

    Coupon payment in percentage = 8.4%

    Explanation:

    Coupon payment amount is calculated using the PMT function in excel as follows:

    =PMT (8.68%/2,20*2,-973.64,1000)

    =42

    Annual coupon payment = 42*2 = $84

    Coupon payment in percentage = 84/1000 = 8.4%
