Calculating zero-coupon yield from an annual yield-to-maturity (bootstrapping)
The implied present value of the final coupon and nominal amount is calculated by subtracting
from the net present value of the bond the sum of the present values of all coupons except
the final one, where each present value is calculated using the appropriate zero-coupon yield.
