    3.5%

    Explanation:

    the yield to maturity of a zero coupon bond is calculated using the following formula:

    YTM = (face value / current market value) ¹/ⁿ - 1

    YTM = ($100 / $70.89) ¹/¹⁰ - 1 = 3.5%

    the way you can check if your calculations were correct is to find the future value of the bond using the YTM = $70.89 x (1 + 3.5) ¹⁰ = $99.997 ≈ $100
