    Purchase of a bond is an investment. Interest paid every six months is known as a coupon payment.

    Profit or loss = (Income from sale + coupons) - original price

    In 18 months, the investor would receive income from the sale of the bond ($9,500) in addition to the three-six month coupons payments amounting to = $300 * 3 = $900

    Profit or loss = ($9,500 + $900) - $10,000

    Profit or loss = $10,400 - $10,000

    Profit = $400
