Suppose we observe the 3-year Treasury security rate (1R3) to be 8 percent, the expected 1-year rate next year—E(2r1)—to be 4 percent, and the expected one-year rate the following year—E(3r1)—to be 6 percent. If the unbiased expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the 1-year Treasury security rate, 1R1? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

a) Suppose that the current one-year spot rate and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, and 3 respectively) are as follows: 1R1 = 3.1%, E(201) = 4.20%, E(3r₁) = 6.6%. Using the unbiased expectation theory, calculate the current long-term rates for one- two and three-year-maturity Treasury securities and plot the current yield curve. Please show each step of your calculation. b) What are the sources of funding for commercial banks? Please also classify the sources of funding and briefly describe each category. c) The unbiased expectation theory and liquidity premium theory are two important theories to explain the shape of yield curve. Discuss and compare the two theories.
