Expert Solution

We will use the PV function of excel to find the current price of the zero-coupon bond. Years to maturity remaining 30-25=5 years

Rate=14.94%/2, Nper=5*2=10,Pmt=0 (since there is no periodic payment because it is zero coupon bond),FV=-$1000

Therefore, the current price of the zero-coupon bond is $486.55.
