The table below shows current and expected future one-year interest rates, as well as current interest rates on multiyear bonds. Use the table to calculate the liquidity premium for each multiyear bond. One-Year Bond Rate 2.00% 5.00% 8.00% 11.00% 13.00% The liquidity premiums for each year are given as: (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) 131 = = 151 = % % % % Year 1 2345 2 Multiyear Bond Rate 2.00% 5.00% 6.00% 8.00% 10.00%
If I am looking to purchase a bond, assuming all other factors are equal, which of the following statements are true? OI want to purchase the bond with negative interest rate. I want to purchase a bond with an interest rate as close to zero as possible. OI want to purchase the bond with the lowest interest rate. OI want to purchase the bond with the highest interest rate.

In this question, use the approximate formula-as given by the Fisher equation-for calculating the the real rate of interest. Assume a fixed real interest rate and everyone believes the Central Bank's forecasts. Believing that inflation will be 1% for the year, the current yield on a government bond that matures in one year is 2.9%. The Central Bank then revises its inflation forecast to 1.6% for the year. What will be the yield on government bonds maturing in one year after this revision? Round to one decimal place and do not enter the % sign. If your answer is 1.333%, enter 1.3. If your answer is 1.666%, enter 1.7. If appropriate, remember to enter the negative sign.
Bond A pays $8,000 in 28 years. Bond B pays $8,000 in 14 years. (To keep things simple, assume these are zero-coupon bonds, which means the $8,000 is the only payment the bondholder receives.) Suppose the interest rate is 5 percent. Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is approximately Now suppose the interest rate increases to 10 percent. Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately I The value of a bond rate. and the value of Bond B is approximately and the value of Bond B is approximately Comparing each bond's value at 5 percent versus 10 percent, Bond A's value decreases by a when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are percentage than Bond B's value. sensitive to changes in the interest
The formula for the deficit in the pension fund of a large company is given by y (in millions of dollars) for year x (where x = 0 is Jan. 1, 2000). The formula for y is y = -.11x3 + 1.4x2 + 2.6x + 40 Consider the years Jan 1, 2000 to Jan 1, 2015 (x=0 to x =15). Hints: y  = -.33x2 + 2.8x + 2.6 has roots x= 9.329 and x= -.845 y   = -.66x+2.8 has root x = 4.2424 Find the absolute maximum and minimum for the deficit: List the candidates table for max/mins: Four decimal places are enough. The largest deficit is _____________ in the year ___________ The smallest deficit is ________________ in the year _______________

3. Effects of a government budget deficit Consider a hypothetical open economy. The following table presents data on the relationship between various real interest rates and national saving, domestic investment, and net capital outflow in this economy, where the currency is the U.S. dollar. Assume that the economy is currently experiencing a balanced government budget. Real Interest Rate (Percent) 7 National Saving (Billions of dollars) 55 Domestic Investment (Billions of dollars) Net Capital Outflow (Billions of dollars) 30 -15 6 50 40 -10 5 45 50 -5 4 40 60 0 3 35 70 5 2 30 80 10 Given the information in the preceding table, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the demand for loanable funds. Next, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the supply of loanable funds. Finally, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the equilibrium in this market.
