Answer:

Quarterly Interest Payment = $94741.83

Explanation:

The amount of interest payment made by coupon bonds depends on the coupon rate they carry regardless of what the interest rate in market is. Thus Desert will have to pay annual coupon rate of 12% of the face value of the bond. However, as the coupon payments are made quarterly, the quarterly interest that will be paid by Desert will be,

Quarterly Interest Payment = 3158061 * 12% * 1/4  

Quarterly Interest Payment = $94741.83
