Marko needs to raise capital through a zero-coupon bond debt offering. If the bonds will have 12 years to maturity and the rate of return on a bond in Marko's risk class is 11 percent, what will be the selling price of the bond?
When i type this into a calculator
N = 12 (number of years until maturity)
i = 11 (use 11, and not 0.11)
fv = -1000 (Face value of bond. This should be entered with a negative sign since we are calculating the PV of an amount receivable in the future)
pmt = 0
CPT ---> PV
PV is calculated to be $285.84
selling price of the bond will be $285.84
