Then, he will invest as per the following assumption:

Using the Canadian Mortgage Convention the monthly mortgage payment for the mortgage loan of $800,000 from Bank of Montreal to buy house and a fixed rate of 6% a year with 5 year closed is $5,929.71 per month (Bryce, 2017).

For the 24th monthly payment out of the monthly mortgage payment of $5,929.71 principal amount is $1,886.54 and $3,810.97 is for interests.

Instead of monthly payment if the borrower changes the schedule of payment to weekly then the weekly mortgage payment would be $1,362.24.

Bond 3 price would be equal to its face value, i.e. $1,000 because the yield and coupon rate of the bond are equal. Hence, the price of the bond would be $1,000, i.e. exactly the face value of the bond.

Hence, holding period return is $10 for Bond 3.

True, in case no opportunity of arbitrage the zero coupon bond rate would never trade at premium as without any interest there would be no possibility of earning any return on zero coupon bond without the arbitrage opportunity. Hence, zero coupon bond without arbitrage opportunity would never trade at a premium.
