I'm trying to figure out how to calculate a coupon payment. I have some details about the coupon rate and the face value of the bond, but I'm not sure how to put these together to get the actual payment amount.

Once the coupon payment per period is calculated, the next step is to multiply this result by the bond's face value.

For bonds that pay semiannually, the annual coupon rate is split into two equal payments.
