Suppose 1-year T-bills currently yield 7.00% and the future inflation rate is expected to be constant at 2.00% per year. What is the real risk-free rate of return, r*? The cross-product term should be considered , i.e., if averaging is required, use the geometric average. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

You observe the following yield curve: YTM 1-year Zero 2-year Zero 6.10% 6.20% 3-year Zero 6.30% 4-year Zero 6.40% (Round your final answers to 2 decimal pleces. Enter percentages "as-Is", without the % sign.) a) If you believe that the yield curve next year will be the same as today's, calculate the holding period return (1-year) on the 1-year Zero and the 4-year Zero. 1-year Zero HPR % 4-year Zero HPR | % b) Recalculate the return on the 4-year zero if you believe in the expectations hypothesis. 4-year Zero HPR %
Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.00%, the average expected future inflation rate is 4.00%, and a maturity risk premium of 0.10% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.10%(t), where t is the years to maturity. What rate of return would you expect on a 1-year Treasury security, assuming the pure expectations theory is NOT valid? Include the cross-product term, i.e., if averaging is required, use the geometric average. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Assume that you are given the following historical returns for the Market and Security J. Also assume that the expected risk-free rate for the coming year is 4.0 percent, while the expected market risk premium is 15.0 percent. Given this information, determine the required rate of return for Security J for the coming year, using CAPM. Year 1 2 O21.20% 3 4 5 6 O22.34% O 23.49% O24.63% O24.10% Market 10.00% 12.00% 16.00% 14.00% 12.00% 10.00% Security J 12.00% 14.00% 18.00% 22.00% 18.00% 14.00%
Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.00%, the average expected future inflation rate is 6.60%, and a maturity risk premium of 0.10% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.10%(t), where t is the number of years to maturity. What rate of return would you expect on a 1-year Treasury security, assuming the pure expectations theory is NOT valid? Disregard cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average.
