Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Par value= $10,000
Number of years to maturity= 24*2= 48 semesters
YTM= 0.046/2= 0.023
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Zero-cupon bond= [face value/(1+i)^n]
Zero-cupon bond= [10,000 / (1.023^48)]
Zero-cupon bond= $3,357.14
