Suppose you purchase a $1000 Face-Value Zero-Coupon Bond withmaturity 30 years and yield to maturity 4% quoted with annualcompounding. Show the bond cash flows on a time line and computethe current price of the bond Draw a graph to illustrate how theprice of this bond will change as it gets closer to maturity –Price (on y axis) vs Time (on x axis). Why is a zero-coupon bondmore sensitive to interest rate changes than similar coupon bearingbonds (2 or 3 sentences)?
