    Yield to maturity is 1.51%

    Explanation:

    Zero Coupon rate does not offer any coupon payment and it is issued at deep discount value.

    Face value = F = $100

    Price = P = $98.50

    Year to mature = n = 1 year

    Yield to maturity = (F - P) / n ] / [ (F + P) / 2 ]

    Yield to maturity = ($100 - $98.5) / 1 ] / [ ($100 + $98.5) / 2 ]

    Yield to maturity = $1.5 / 99.25

    Yield to maturity = 0.0151

    Yield to maturity = 1.51%
