Suppose Home Depot issues 30-year bonds on which it pays a 4.00% (nominal) interest rate. Further, suppose that bo Home Depot and the purchasers of its bonds anticipate inflation will average 2.00% during the life of the loan. Now suppose the inflation rate after the loan is made (i.e. after the bond is purchased) is actually 1.00% per annum. It follow that the actual real rate of interest is and, ceteris paribus, are (is) better off than anticipated as a result of difference between the anticipated and the actual rate of inflation.

Suppose you can observe that 1-year bond interest rate is 4%, 2-year bond interest rate is 8%, and 3-year bond interest rate is 10% at time t. It is also known that the term premium on a 2-year bond is 1% and the term premium on a 3-year bond is 1.5%. a) What are the market's expected 1-year bond interest rates for the next two years from time t? b) How to interpret those expected short-term interest rates? (what would be the "possible" economic meanings in the expected short- term interest rates?) Discuss as least two "candidates" to explain them.
Suppose that the current 6-month, 1-year, 1.5-year and 2-year interest rates are 2.2%,3%, 3.5% and 3.75%, respectively. a) Calculate the prices of a 1-year and 2-year Treasury bonds. In each case, assumethe face value of £100 and the coupon rate of 5% per annum and that coupons arepaid semi-annually. Assume continuous compounding. Compare the obtainedresults. Are they consistent with your expectations? b) Calculate the par yield on the 1-year bond with semi-annual coupons
The term structure of interest rates has the following annual effective rates of interest for zero-coupon bonds.

For an interest only loan, find the level interest payment at the end of each year for three years that has the same present value as the payments based on the forward rates at those times.
