26. When he was 30 years old, about the time he took over the restaurant from his father, Mr. Moore bought an unusual insurance policy: it was in the form of a "zero coupon" bond. The bond paid 5% per year and guaranteed him $475,000 when it matured in 50 years. He paid a single premium amount and no further payments were necessary.

Full Price Option - full price ($65,000) paid at no interest over 5 years.
