Today is 1 July, 2019. Zack has a portfolio which consists of two different types of financial instruments (henceforth referred to as instrument A and instrument B). Zack purchased all instruments on 1 July 2012 to create this portfolio, which is composed of 35 units of instrument A and 36 units of instrument B.
Instrument A is a zero-coupon bond with a face value of $100. This bond matures at par. Its maturity date is 1 January 2029.
Instrument B is a Treasury bond with a coupon rate of j2 = 4.31% p.a. and a face value of $100. This bond matures at par. Its maturity date is 1 January 2022.
Calculate the current price of instrument B per $100 face value. Round your answer to four decimal places. Assume the yield rate is j2 = 2.53% p.a. and Zack has just received her coupon payment.
