The issue price of zero-coupon bond is the present value of the nominal value.

The current value of $ 1,000 payable in 10 years = 8.8% ($ 1,000 x 0.43024) = 430.24 $
-----------------------------
To find the factor, with the formula for the present value of $ 1

PV = [1 / (1 + r) ^ n]

= [1 / (1.088) ^ 10]

= 0.43024
