Answer:
$441,495
Explanation:
Since the information is incomplete, I looked for the missing part and found the attached information.
the current yield of a 1.5 years zero coupon bond = (100 / 89.9)¹/¹°⁵ - 1 = 0.0736 = 7.36%
the current yield of a 6 months zero coupon bond = (100 / 97.087)¹/⁰°⁵ - 1 = 0.0609 = 6.09%
now to calculate the future interest rate:
(1.0736²/1.0609) - 1 = 0.0865 = 8.65%
since we are told to determine the price of the bond:
(100/P)¹/¹°⁵ - 1 = 0.0865
(100/P)¹/¹°⁵ = 1.0865
100/P = 1.0865¹°⁵
100/P = 1.1325
100/1.1325 = P
P = 88.299
the expected price of the bond = 88.299% x $500,000 = $441,495
