Answer:
a) Zero coupon bond does not pay periodical interest and formula to compute the value of a zero-coupon bond:
Value = Face Value / (1 +Yield / 2) ** Years to Maturity * 2
b) Interest deduction
After 1 year bond value from the above equation is 437.08
437.08 - 411.99 = 25.09
In the 14th year bond value from the above equation is 942.60
1000 - 942.60 = 57.40
c) Straight Line Method
Total Interest Paid = 1000 - 411.99
= 588.01
For yearly calculation
588.01 / 15 = 39.21
Further computation is done in the image below.
