The amount to be received onthe coupon date is $154000.

The amount to be received at bonds maturity is $4154000.

Explanation:

amount received on the next coupon date = 4000*$1000*7.7%*6/12

= $154000

amount to receive when the bonds mature = face value + interest

= 4000*$1000 + $154000

= $4,000,000 + $154000

= $4154000

Therefore, the amount to be received onthe coupon date is $154000 and the amount to be received at bonds maturity is $4154000.
