I need help with understanding zero-coupon bonds.
I would like to know how much of federal zero-coupon bonds
do I have to buy now to get $100,000.00 at its 10 year maturity.
I would also like the same info for 5 year maturity.
Also, is there a formula that I can use to calculate the
return of these bonds based on initial purchase value and maturity time??
Also, what about tax implications at the time of purchase and the time
of getting cash back after maturity.  What am I liable for in both
instances???  Any help is greately appreciated!!!
