What is a zero-coupon bond?</h3>
- A zero coupon bond (also known as a discount bond or deep discount bond) is one in which the face value is repaid at maturity.
- That definition assumes that money has a positive time value.
- It does not make periodic interest payments or has so-called coupons, hence the term zero coupon bond.
- When the bond matures, the investor receives the par (or face) value.
- Zero-coupon bonds include US Treasury bills, US savings bonds, long-term zero-coupon bonds, and any type of coupon bond that has had its coupons removed.
- The terms zero coupon and deep discount bonds are used interchangeably.
To find the current value of a zero-coupon bond:
First, divide 11 percent by 100 to get 0.11.
Second, add 1 to 0.11 to get 1.11.
Third, raise 1.11 to the seventh power to get 2.07616015.
