    Answer: $532.73 (2 d. p)

    Price of a zero coupon bond = M / (1 + r) ^n

    M is the price at maturity which is = $1000

    r is the required rate of interest which is = 6.5%

    n is number of years until maturity which is 10 years.

    Price is therefore:

    =1000 / (1+0.065) ^10

    =1000/1.065^10

    =532.726

    =$532.73 (2 d. p)

    NB: 6.5% is

    6.5/100 = 0.065
