Answer:

8%

Explanation:

The coupon is the amount of periodic cash payable to bondholders which is usually a percentage of the bond's face value.

The coupon of $80 is payable annually in this case, hence, based on the face value( par value) of $1,000 per bond, the coupon rate is computed as shown thus:

annual coupon=face value*coupon rate

annual coupon=$80

face value=$1000

coupon rate=unknown

$80=$1000*coupon rate

coupon rate=$80/$1000

coupon rate=8%
