Answer:

Different is favorable to the zero-coupon by 2.2%

I would prefer to invest in the zero-coupon as their yield is higher

Explanation:

we divide the future value of the zero coupon with ther current market value to determinate the rate

\frac{FV}{nominal} =1 + r\\\frac{FV}{nominal} -1 = r\\\\\frac{1,085}{950} -1 = r

r = 0,14210 = 14.2%

the saving account yields 12% which is lower than the zero coupon rate thereofre I would be better to ivnest in the zero-coupon.
