9.Huawei, Inc. wants to issue new 6-months bill with zerc coupon for some much-needed short-term funding needs. Currently, the market yield for similar bill is 6 percent, if the par value of the bill is $1000, how much will the bill sell for in the market?
Par value = $1,000
zero coupon bond yield for six months = 6%/2 = 0.03
Price of the bond = Par value/(1 + r)^n
where, n = 1 6-month period
Price of the bond = 1000/(1 + 0.03)^1
Price of the bond = 1000/(1.03)^1
Price of the bond = 1000/1.03
Price of the bond = 970.8737864078
Price of the bond = $970.87
Option B is correct
