A Treasury STRIP is a zero-coupon US Treasury bond. If the STRIP's yield-to-maturity is 2.5%, par value is $1,000, and 7 years remain until maturity, what is the bond's price today? Use a semi-annual compounding period in your calculations. Enter your answer as a positive number rounded to the nearest penny.

Assume that you are interested in buying a zero coupon bond. It has a maturity of 25 years, a price of $462, and a par value of $1000. Assume that interest is compounded annually. What is the yield on this bond?

A zero-coupon bond is a bond that is sold for less than its face value (that is, it is discounted) and has no periodic interest payments. Instead, the bond is redeemed for its face value at maturity. Thus, in this sense, interest is paid at maturity. Suppose that a zero-coupon bond sells for $8,150 and can be redeemed in 20-years for its face value of $42,000. What is the annual compound rate of return? Annual compound rate = % (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
