Expert Solution
Step 1

Deep discount or zero coupon bond doesn't pay any interest unlike corporate bonds. zero coupon bonds are issued at a very low value and face value of the bond is paid at maturity. the difference between issue price and face value is the interest. US treasury bill is an example of zero coupon bond.
