The computation of the accrued principal and coupon payment is given below:-

                                     Accrued principal     Coupon payment

First 6 months                    $1,020                              $15

                                   $1,000 × (1 + 0.02)       ($1,000 × 3% × 1 ÷ 2)

Second 6 months              $1,050.60                         $15.759

                                    $1,020 × (1 + 0.03)       ($1,050.60 × 3% × 1 ÷ 2)

Third 6 months                     $1,061.106                       $15.92

                                     ($1,050.60 × (1 + 0.01))  ($1,061.106 × 3% × 1 ÷ 2)

Fourth 6 months                   $1,082.32                         $16.23

                                     ($1,061.106 × (1 + 0.02))    ($1,082.32 × 3% × 1 ÷ 2)
