Bond Value is $347.30

Explanation:

Zero coupon bond does not offer any return on the bond that's why it is issued on deep discount value.

Number of years = n = 20 years

Face value = F = $1,000

YTM = 5.43%

Price of the Bond = [ F / (1 + r) ^n ]

Price of the Bond = [ $1,000 / (1 + 5.43%) ^20 ]

Price of the Bond = [ $1,000 / (1.0543) ^20 ]

Price of the Bond = 347.30
