Suppose that the current 1-year rate (1-year spot rate) and expected 1-year T-bill rates over the following three years (ie.. years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 181 = 4%, E(201) = 5%, E(31) = 5.50 %, E(41) = 5.85% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities.

Suppose that the current 1-year rate (1-year spot rate) and expected 1-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows:1R1 = 2.62%, E(2r1) = 3.90%, E(3r1) = 4.40%, E(4r1) = 5.90%Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities. (Do not round intermediate calculations.

If the compounding frequency is monthly and the discount factor=0.62026, what is the value of the corresponding annual interest rate?  What is the corresponding continuous compounding annual interest rate if the discount factor remains at 0.62026?

Suppose today’s LIBOR rates for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months are 1.6%, 1.8%, 2.0%, 2.0%, 1.9%, and 1.6% with continuous compounding. What are the forward rates for future 1-month periods?
