Question: is the Zero coupon yields on U$.$S$.$ treasury shown down below the spot rate $($aka the zero rates$)$ of these treasuries. $($so all I need to do is readjust the spot rate by adding the risk premium $(150$ BP $=1\mathrm{.}50\%)$ and calculate the bond price in semiannual terms$)$

bond that you purchased has a $150$ basis point risk premium for its cash flows at all maturities. What price would you be willing to pay for the

bond? Zero Coupon US Treasury Maturity Yields
