Zero bond

          Perform the following tasks: a) For a zero bond, a top-rated issuer estimates a 15-year return of 4% p.a. What will be the issue price, if the bond is to be repaid at 100% at maturity? b) For that same bond, assume that five years after issuance, the zero bond trades at 72%. Given its remaining maturity, what is the return of the bond? c) For that same bond, assume that at the end of maturity, the zero bond may partially default with a probability of 35%, resulting in a repayment of only 75%. • What is the expected value of the bond at the end of maturity? • At opportunity cost of 6%, what is the market price of the bond assuming a remaining maturity of 1 year? • Assuming a remaining maturity of 1 year, what is the return in the best-case scenario?
