Answer #1

As the bond is a zero coupon bond , no interest is receivable in its lifetime. Only the par value will be received at maturity.

So there will be no interest return in from the bond in the last year.

The market value last year was $281.33, in one year the maturity value will be increased by the effective yield % which is not given for the bond.
