You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 24 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.6 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods. What is the price of the bond

Respuesta :

Answer:

Zero-cupon bond= $3,357.14

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Par value= $10,000

Number of years to maturity= 24*2= 48 semesters

YTM= 0.046/2= 0.023

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:

Zero-cupon bond= [face value/(1+i)^n]

Zero-cupon bond= [10,000 / (1.023^48)]

Zero-cupon bond= $3,357.14
