To calculate: The interest income that you will have to declare on the tax return on the zero-coupon bonds

Assume you will be paying $10,000 per year in tuition expenses at the end of each of the next two years. Bonds currently yield 8%. a) What is the present value and duration of your obligation? b) What maturity zero-coupon bond would immunize your obligation? c) Suppose you buy a zero-coupon bond with value and duration equal to that of your obligation. Now suppose that interest rates immediately increase to 9%. What happens to your net position, that is, to the difference between the value of the bond and that of your tuition obligation? d) What happens to your net position if rates instead fall to 7%?
You buy a zero coupon bond at the beginning of the year that has a face value of $1,000, a YTM of 13 percent, and 10 years to maturity. You hold the bond for the entire year. Assume semiannual compounding. How much interest income will you have to declare on your tax return?
