Answer :

Face value of the discount bond = F = $1000

Years to maturity = n = 1 year

Current Price = P

Yield to maturity = Y = 5% = 0.05

Yield of a discount bond can be calculated by the formula :

Yield to maturity = (Face value / Current Price)^(1 / Years to maturity) - 1

0.05 = ($1000 / P)^(1 / 1) - 1

0.05 + 1 = $1000 / P

1.05 = $1000 / P

P = $1000 / 1.05 = $952.38

Thus, $952.38 is the current price of the discount bond.
