Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

Dear student, as per Bartleby answering guidelines we can answer only the first question if the student post multiple questions at a time. Therefore I am answering the only first question, for getting the answer to the remaining questions please re-post the remaining questions.

Zero-coupon bond:  Zero-coupon bond did not pay any interest on the bond face value, But it issues at a discounted price and redeems at maturity at face value.

This question provides that zero-coupon bond selling at $ 6000 and having a face value $ 10000 and asking the yield to maturity.
