ZERO COUPON BOND: Also termed a zero bond, a bond that does not pay interest, in which the return is generated by the difference between the purchase price and the face value paid at maturity. Because they do not pay interest, zero coupon bonds are sold at a discount. For example, a $10,000 zero coupon bond that matures in one year, would generate a 10% return if it sold at a discount of $9,000.

FIRM An organization that combines scarce resources for the production and supply of goods and services. The firm is used by entrepreneurs to bring together otherwise idle resources. The term firm is often used synonymously with the business, enterprise, or company. If there is a difference, a firm is functionally defined and need not be a typical for-profit business. A firm can be profit oriented, nonprofit, privately owned, or government controlled.
