Answer #1

Current yield on a zero coupon bond = 0.00%

Current yield = Annual Coupon payment / Current Price of Bond

A Zero-coupon bond does not pay annual coupons (interest).

Thus, its annual coupon payment = $0

and

current yield = 0.00%

Hope it will help, please do comment if you need any further explanation. Your feedback would be highly appreciated.
