Answer:
<em>$111.11 or 111.11% of face value</em>
Explanation:
Assuming the face value of $100 for all bonds (without loss of generality)
If the two year coupon bond is repackaged as a one year zero coupon bond paying $12 after one year and another two year bond paying $112 after 2 years, the price of the two zero coupon bonds are given as
Price of one year Zero coupon bond = 12/1.05 = $11.43 (one year ZCB has YTM of 5%)
Price of two year Zero coupon bond = 112/1.06^2 = $99.68 (two year ZCB has YTM of 6%)
So, one can sell the repackaged bonds at a price = $11.43+ $99.68 = $111.11 or 111.11% of face value
