I got this example to calculate the value of a zero-coupon bond. It is solved. However, my question is about The difference between the purchase price, and par value is the investor’s interest earned on the bond. Is it a gain or loss of $57.5? And should I consider purchasing the bond? The value of a zero-coupon bond with a face value of $1,000, YTM of 3%, and 2 years to maturity would be $1,000 / (1.03)2, or $942.59 Since it's below the par value, it's considered a "discount bond," but my confusion is whether to buy the bond or not. Therefore, any help to master this topic will be much appreciated.
