Chapter 6, Problem 18P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The price of the five year zero-coupon bond.
Introduction: A bond is a debt instrument with which the shareholder credits the cash to an entity which can be a government or an organization that scrounges finance for a distinct timeframe at a predefined interest rate. Coupon rate is expressed as an interest rate on a fixed income security similar to a bond. It is also known as the interest rate that the bondholders get from their investment. It depends on the yield depending on the day the bond is issued.
