Answer 1

Answer:

The Current Value of Zero-Coupon Bond $89.78

Explanation:

Face Value = $100

Yield to Maturity = 5.54%

Maturity Years = 2 Years

The Current Value of Zero-Coupon Bond = Present Value of Face Value

= $100 x [PVIF 5.54%, 2 Years]

= $100 / (1 + r)ⁿ

= $100 / (1 + 0.0554)²

= $100 / 1.11387

= $89.78
