Suppose the current interest rate on a one-year bond is 2% and the current interest rate on a two-year bond is 4%. The term premium on a two-year bond is 1%. According to the expectations hypothesis, what interest rate should we expect on a one-year bond next year? Answer as a percentage to one decimal place and do not include symbols (e.g. $, %, commas) in your answer. Answer:

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.
Short-term interest rates: fluctuate widely, depending on their terms. tend to move together. always move in the same direction as long-term interest rates. are always above long-term interest rates.
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 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.

The price of Tesla Inc is approximately $776 billion as of 10/04/21. [The price Tesla = the number of Tesla shares outstanding (1 billion shares) * the share price of $776 = Tesla’s market capitalization.] What is your estimate of the value of Tesla Inc.? Please explain how you would estimate it and show your calculation.
Suppose your company is in equilibrium, with its capital stock at its desired level. A permanent decline in the expected real interest rate now has what effect on your desired capital stock? Use relevant diagrams to answer. (Assume a closed economy unless stated otherwise)
Suppose that for a particular economy, there are only RM 5 billion worth of investment projects that can yield expected real returns of 9.1% to 12%, but none that can yield more than 12%. An additional RM 5 billion will yield expected real returns of 6.1% to 9%, an additional RM 5 billion will yield expected real returns of 3.1% to 6%, and an additional RM 5 billion will yield expected real returns of 0% to 3%. If the real rate of interest is 6%, desired investment spending will be: * Your answer
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 _______________

Assume i=0%, beta=1. Consumer has income of 80 in year 1, 100 in year 2. Now suppose gov't gives consumers a free check of 10 in year 1. Suppose consumers are naive (they don't anticipate the free check is financed by borrowing from China, which needs to be paid back through more tax in period 2), consumer will consume ____ in year 1. Hint: when consumers are naive, they will believe they have 80+10=90 income in period 1, and 100 income in period 2.
