Respuesta :

Answer:

Ans. Implicit interest rate = 3.14946%

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the implicit interest rate, we need to use the following equation.

[tex]ImplicitRate=\sqrt[n]{\frac{FaceValue}{Price} } -1[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]ImplicitRate=\sqrt[20]{\frac{1000}{537.85} } -1=0.0314946[/tex]

So, the implicit rate of this zero-coupon bond is=3.14946%

Best of luck
