The price of a zero coupon bond is  $747.27.

M =  the date of maturity =  $1,000

r =  Interest Rate = 6%= 0.06

n=  number of years =5 year

zero coupon bond: Price = [tex]M / (1 + r)^n[/tex]              

                                           =  [tex]\frac{1000}{(1+0.06)^5}[/tex]

                                           =$ 747.27

What is zero coupon bond?

A zero-coupon bond also known as a cumulative bond, is a debt security that pays no interest but  trades at a deep discount and produces a profit at maturity when the bond is redeemed at full  value.

Some bonds are issued as zero-coupon instruments from the outset, while other bonds become zero-coupon instruments after the financial institution de-coupons them  and repackages them as zero-coupon bonds. Because zero-coupon bonds offer full payment at maturity, they vary in price much more  than coupon bonds.
