Explanation:

A Bond is the issuer's written promise to pay an amount equaling the par value. The par value is paid at a specified future date. Most often, the issuer is required to make semiannual interest payments.

A bond is a fixed income instrument that represents a loan made by an investor to a borrower. A bond could be thought of as an I.O.U. between the lender and borrower that includes the details of the loan and its payments.

Bond details include the end date when the principal of the loan is due to be paid to the bond owner and usually includes the terms for variable or fixed interest payments made by the borrower.

Oftentimes interests are paid semi annually.
