1. Use the table below to find the short rate that will prevail in the fourth year. Confirm that the discount factor on the 4-year zero is a geometric average of 1 + the short rates in the next 4 years. Maturity (years) 1 2 3 4 Yield to Maturity (%) 5% 6% 7% 8%

Maturity   Periods Years Yield 1 year 1.00 5.37% 2 years 2.00 5.47% 3 years 3.00 5.65% 4 years 4.00 5.71% 5 years 5.00 5.64% 10 years 10.00 5.75% 20 years 20.00 6.33% 30 years 30.00 5.94%

Assume that the one-year rate (short-term) over the next 3 years are 2023: 4% 2024: 5% 2025: 6% (1) Use the expectations theory to calculate the two-year rate (long-term) and the three-year rate (long-term). (2) Draw a yield curve.

Maturity Risk Premium The real risk-free rate is 3%, and inflation is expected to be 4% for the next 2 years. A 2-year Treasury security yields 8.0%. What is the maturity risk premium for the 2-year security? Round your answer to one decimal place.

ok Based on economists' forecasts and analysis, 1-year Treasury bill rates and liquidity premiums for the next four years are expected to be as follows: R1 = 1.00% = 2.15% 2.25% = 2.55% E(21) E(31) = E(471) 42 = L3 = L4 = Using the liquidity premium theory, determine the current (long-term) rates. 0.05% 0.10% 0.12% nel plecor (in 01234 should be entered
