Zero coupon bond is the bond which does not offer any interest payment. It is issued on deep discount price and Traded in the market on discounted price.
As per given data:
Numbers of Bonds = 230,000
Numbers of years to mature = n = 18 years
Face value = F = 230,000 x $1,000 = $230,000,000
YTM = 5.9%
Value of zero coupon bond = Face value / ( 1 + YTM )^n
Value of zero coupon bond = $230,000,000 / ( 1 + 5.9% )^18
Value of zero coupon bond = $230,000,000 / ( 1 + 5.9% )^18
