woori coupon rate : the interest rate that the issuer agrees to pay each year
popolistic Coupon Rate is QUOTED as an annual rate but usually PAID semi-annually.
Inaganti6 In india that's all theory nobody really pays back here it's like one way street
UcheSam Since it is US exam, option "C" should have been "the interest that the issuer agrees to pay each semi-annual"
Haoran Coupon rate is semi-rate x 2! @UcheSam
