Based on economists forecasts and analysis, one-year Treasury bill rates and liquidity premiums for the next four years are expected to be as follows: 1R1 = 0.50% E(21) = 0.88%L2 = 0.06%E(3г 1) = 0.98%L3 = 0.13%E(4r1) = 1.28%L4 = 0.16% Calculate the yield to maturity for four yea

Suppose today that you have the following information: yield on 10-year TIPS: 3.5% yield on 10-year Treasury note: 3.0% What is the expected annual rate of inflation (approximate) over the next 10 years?

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 = 0.55% R1 E(21) = 1.70% = 42 = 0.08% E(31) 1.80% 43 = L4= 0.12% 0.14% = E(41) 2.10% Using the liquidity premium theory, determine the current (long-term) rates. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34). Current (Long-term) Rates Years 1 % 2 % 3 % 4 5 %
