Zero Coupon Bond Price = F / (1 + i)^n
where:
F = face value or maturity value = 100 (Assuming bond will mature at $100. This assumption is based on the historical data as Zero coupon bonds usually have maturity value $100, $1000 and so on)
i = interest rate = 3%
n = maturity period = 1 year and 2 year
a) What is the price of a two year ZCB?
Price = 100 / (1 + 0.03)^2 = 94.26 (Rounded off to two decimal )
b) What is the price of a one year ZCB today?
Price = 100 / (1 + 0.03) = 97.09 (Rounded off to two decimal)
c) What do I expect the price of a one year ZCB to be, one year from now?
It would be $100 as ZCB is maturing after one year from now and maturity price is 100
Same 3 questions except now the one year spot rate is 3% and the 2 year spot rate is 4%.
a) What is the price of a two year ZCB?
Price = 100 / (1 + 0.04)^2 = 92.46 (Rounded off to two decimal )
b) What is the price of a one year ZCB today?
Price = 100 / (1 + 0.03) = 97.09 (Rounded off to two decimal)
) What do I expect the price of a one year ZCB to be, one year from now?
It would be $100 as ZCB is maturing after one year from now and maturity price is 100
Same 3 questions except now the one year spot rate is 3% and the 2 year spot rate is 2%.
a) What is the price of a two year ZCB?
Price = 100 / (1 + 0.02)^2 = 96.12 (Rounded off to two decimal )
b) What is the price of a one year ZCB today?
Price = 100 / (1 + 0.03) = 97.09 (Rounded off to two decimal)
) What do I expect the price of a one year ZCB to be, one year from now?
It would be $100 as ZCB is maturing after one year from now and maturity price is 100
