- Consider two bonds, Bond C and Bond D, both with a yield to maturity of 10 (7.3) percent and with 5 years to maturity. These are standard bonds with semiannual coupon payments. Bond C has a coupon rate of 10 (8.4) percent (with semiannual coupon payments); Bond D does not pay any coupons (i.e., it a zero-coupon bond). What is the price of each bond?
