The coupon rate is the annual payment divided by the face or par value.

The coupon rate represents the annual yield that the investor in a bond receives.

N (# of periods) = 8 years

I/Y (Interest per year or Yield) = 5.1%

PV (Present Value or Price) = $962

FV (Future Value) = $1,000

Results:

Annual PMT = $49.06 ($962 x 5.1%)

Coupon rate = 4.91% ($49.06/$1,000 x 100)
