Expert Solution

9,245

Working:

The question is based on the concept of present value of zero coupon bond. As it's name suggests , zero coupon bond does not pay any interest during the life.
It pays only redemption cash flows at the end of life.
Minimum number of bonds to be sold = Total fund required / Present value of one zero coupon bond
= $       2,700,000 / $ 292.04
=                    9,245
Working:
Present Value of zero coupon bond = Bond Face Value x Present Value of $ 1 to be reeived at the end of life
= $          1,000.00 x (1+0.03125)^-40
= $          1,000.00 x 0.292039
= $             292.04
Semi annual yield = 6.25%/2
= 0.03125
Semi annual life = 20*2
= 40
