4. Let R be the one-year LIBOR rate with annual compounding that will be determined in 6 years from now. Assume the forward interest rate volatility for the corresponding period is 20% per year. The risk-free rates with annual compounding are currently 5% for all maturities. a. Calculate the price of a financial derivative that pays 1000R € in 6 years from now. b. Calculate the price of a financial derivative that pays 1000R € in 7 years from now.

Use the data in Table 1. The LIBOR rate at selected dates are showed in Table 3. Please show your calculations. Discuss your result.

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: 0.80% = 1.95% R1 E(201) E(371) = $2.05% E(471) 2.35% L2= 0.07% L3= 0.11% L4= 0.13% Using the liquidity premium theory, determine the current (long-term) rates. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Years 1 2 3 4 Current (Long-term) Rates % % % %

A mortgage pass-through security (PT) has a par value of $100,000, a 4% coupon paid monthly, and is based on 30 year mortgages. The current market rate for similar bonds is 3.5%, and prepayments currently equal $100 per month. Assume rates immediately rise to 4.5%, and prepayments drop to $40 as a result. The PT will now be paid off in month 310. What is the price of the PT today? Group of answer choices: $98,323.2214 $184,274.6844 $94,737.4877 $102,365.1248

Suppose that the current one-year zero-coupon rate is 2.5% and that the expected one-year rate during each of the subsequent four years is 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, and 3.5%. Under the expectations theory, what is the current 5-year zero-coupon interest rate? Enter the answer in percentage points; for example, if the answer is 5.25%, enter 5.25 rather than .0525.
