    n=2*2=4

    Coupon = 0.095*1000/2=47.50

    rate = 0.038

    Using excel:

    =PV (0.038,4,47.5,1000)

    =$1,034.65

    Price after 6 months:

    n=3

    Coupon = 0.095*1000/2=47.50

    rate = 0.038

    =PV (0.038,3,47.5,1000)

    =$1,026.46

    Capital gain return:=1026.46/1034.65=-0.791%

    Coupon return = 47.5/1034.65

    =+4.591%

    Total return = 3.80%
