Question
Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 1R1 = 0.3%, E(2r 1) = 1.3%, E(3r1) = 8.9%, E(4r1) = 9.25% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities.

- someone solve this questio but not by excelarrow_forwardAfter a 1 year investment you receive 7.4% interest (nominal) from your bank. However, looking at how prices have changed, you soon realize that the real rate of interest was actually 3.4%. How much was inflation during that year? Enter your answer as a percentage, rounded to 2 decimals, and without the percentage sign ('%'). For example, if your answer is 0.02345, then enter 2.35arrow_forwardSuppose the term structure of risk-free interest rates is as shown here: a. Calculate the present value of an investment that pays $1,000 in 2 years and $4,000 in 5 years for certain. b. Calculate the present value of receiving $900 per year, with certainty, at the end of the next 5 years. To find the rates for the missing years in the table, linearly interpolate between the years for which you do know the rates. (For example, the rate in year 4 would be the average rate in year 3 and year 5.) c. Calculate the present value of receiving $2,700 per year, with certainty, for the next 20 years. Infer rates for the missing years using linear interpolation. (Hint: Use a spreadsheet.)
