Suppose most investors expect the inflation rate to be 5% next year, 6% the following year, and 7% thereafter.  The real risk-free rate is 3.5%.  The maturity risk premium is zero for bonds that mature in 1 year or less, 0.3% for 2-year bonds, and then the MRP increases by 0.3% per year thereafter for 20 years, after which it is stable.  What is the interest rate on 1-year, 9-year, and 18-year Treasury bonds? Percentage answers should be rounded to 2 decimal places (0.12%) while decimal answers are to be rounded to 4 decimal places (0.1234)

The real risk-free rate is 2.5% and inflation is expected to be 2.25% for the next 2 years. A 2-year Treasury security yields 6.75%. What is the maturity risk premium for the 2-year security? Round your answer to one decimal place. ______%

3. Calculating interest rates The real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.8% and is expected to remain constant. Inflation is expected to be 7% per year for each of the next two years and 6% thereafter. The maturity risk premium (MRP) is determined from the formula: 0.1(t – 1)%, where t is the security’s maturity. The liquidity premium (LP) on all Smith and Carter Inc.’s bonds is 1.05%. The following table shows the current relationship between bond ratings and default risk premiums (DRP): Rating Default Risk Premium U.S. Treasury — AAA 0.60% AA 0.80% A 1.05% BBB 1.45%   Smith and Carter Inc. issues 7-year, AA-rated bonds. What is the yield on one of these bonds? Disregard cross-product terms; that is, if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average. 11.54%   10.94%   10.49%   5.25%     Based on your understanding of the determinants of interest rates, if everything else remains the same, which of the following will be true? In…

Please show working.    Please answer 1 and 2   1. The real risk-free rate is 2.75%, and inflation is expected to be 4.00% for the next 2 years. A 2-year Treasury security yields 8.25%. What is the maturity risk premium for the 2-year security? Round your answer to two decimal places.   2. The real risk-free rate is 2.9%. Inflation is expected to be 2.2% this year, 4.8% next year, and 2.65% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.05 × (t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. What is the yield on a 7-year Treasury note? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

The risk-free interest rate is 4.1% per year, the liquidity premium is 0.5% per year, the maturity premium is 0.7% per year, the inflation premium is 2.2% per year, and the default premium is 2.7% per year. What is the annual real interest rate? 1) 1.9% 2) 1.5% 3) 2.3% 4) 2.1% 5) 1.7%

Suppose the interest rate on a 1-year government bond is 3.00%, on a 4-year government bond is 3.50% and that on a 6-year government bond is 4.90%. What is the market's forecast for 2-year rates 4 years from now, assuming the pure expectations theory is correct? Show your work.

b. Suppose you are considering two possible investment opportunities: a 12-year Treasury bond and a 7-year, AA-rated corporate band. The current real risk-free rate is 5%, and inflation is expected to be 2% for the next 2 years, 3% for the following 4 years, and 4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated by this formula: MRP = 0.03 (t-1) %. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimated to be 0.2%. You may determine the default risk premium (DRP), given the company's bond rating, from the following table. Remember to subtract the bond's LP from the corporate spread given in the table to arrive at the bond's DRP. Rate 0.83% 1.03 1.35 1.73 Corporate Bond Yield Spread = DRP + LP U.S. Treasury AAA corporate 0.20% AA corporate 0.52 A corporate 0.90 What yield would you predict for each of these two investments? Round your answers to three decimal places, 12-year Treasury yield: 7-year Corporate yield: % %

The real risk-free rate is 3.5%. Inflation is expected to be 2.5% this year and 4.75% during the next 2 years. Assume that the maturity risk premium is zero. What is the yield on 2-year Treasury securities? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.  % What is the yield on 3-year Treasury securities? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.  %

Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 3.25%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 3.25%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 1.0%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1? Round your answer to two decimal places. %
