Consider a zero-coupon bond with a $1,000 face value and 15 years left until maturity. If the bond is currently trading for $468, then the yield to maturity on this bond is closest to:

A. 46.8
B. 53.2
C. 2.6
D. 5.19

5.19 ( D )

Explanation:

A zero-coupon bond is a bond traded/issued to the investor at a discounted price i.e a price lower than the actual face value of the bond. this type of bond dose not attract periodic interest payments rather at the time of maturity the initial face value of the bond is paid to the investor.

The  value of a Zero-coupon bond can be calculated as

value of zero - coupon bond =

F = face value

r = yield

t = time

But the yield to maturity can also be calculated using this formula

r =

F = face value of the bond ( $1000 )

Cp = current price ( $468 )

T = time to maturity ( 15 )

therefore yield =  

= 2.13675

= 0.05186 = 5.186

i.e the yield to maturity is closest to 5.19 ( D )

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
