Assume you have a one-year investment horizon and are trying to choose among three bonds. All have the same degree of default risk and mature in 10 years. The first is a zero-coupon bond that pays $1,000 at maturity. The second has a 7.2% coupon rate and pays the $72 coupon once per year. The third has a 9.2% coupon rate and pays the $92 coupon once per year. Assume that all bonds are compounded annually.
