Investment banks will oftentimes "split" the interest andprincipal payments on US government bonds into two parts and selleach part separately. Consider a vanilla government bond with 30years to maturity, a coupon rate of 10 percent, a face value of$5,000, and semi-annual coupon payments. What is the present valueof the interest payments on this bond (not including any principalpayments) if the required rate of return is 12 percent peryear?
