Answer:

2.91

Explanation:

Price of the 2 year maturity coupon bond:

Coupon payment = 1000 * 12% = 120

Price = 120 / ( 1+5.8% ) 1 + 1120 / ( 1+5.8% ) 2 = 1113.99

Price of the zero coupon bond:

Price = 120 / ( 1+5% ) 1 + 1120 / ( 1+6% ) 2 = 1111.08

The arbitrage opportunity will involve buy the zeroes at the face value of $120 and $1120 and sell the 2 year coupon bond.

Profit = 1113.99 -1111.08 = 2.91
