Anne Warner wants to buy zerocoupon bonds in order to protect herself from reinvestment risk. She plans to hold the bonds for fifteen years and requires a rate of return of 9.5%. Fifteenyear Treasuries are currently yielding 4.5%. If interest is compounded semiannually, the price Warner is willing to pay for each $1,000 par value zerocoupon bond is closest to:
A) $249.
B) $256.
C) $498
What should be the answer to this. IMO B. But qbank says A.

I figured out my mistake. A should be correct. Thanks.

It says interest compounded semi annually,
1000/ [(1+ 9.5%/2) ^(15*2)] = 248.53 –correct answer A

sidagg.
I was not aware of your updated posting when I posted previous reply, so it was superfluous.
Glad you figured out.
