Suppose the real risk-free rate of interest is r=4% and it is expected to remain constant over time. Inflation is expected to be 1.60% per year for the next two years and 3.90% per year for the next three years.

Suppose the inflation rate is expected to be 6.75% next year, 4.3% the following year, and 2.3% thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate, r*, will remain at 1.85% and that maturity risk premiums on Treasury securities rise from zero on very short-term bonds (those that mature in a few days) to 0.2% for 1-year securities. Furthermore, maturity risk premiums increase 0.2% for each year to maturity, up to a limit of 1.0% on 5-year or longer-term T-bonds. Calculate the interest rate on 3-year Treasury securities.
An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 2.1%in Year 1, 2.7% in Year 2, and 3.65% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rateis 1.95% and that this rate will remain constant. Three-year Treasury securities yield 5.20%,while 5-year Treasury securities yield 6.00%. What is the difference in the maturity riskpremiums (MRPs) on the two securities; that is, what is MRP5 - MRP3?
Treasury securities that mature in 6 years currently have an interest rate of 7.75 percent. Inflation is expected to be 5 percent in each of the next three years and 6 percent each year thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.10% × (t – 1), where t is equal to the maturity of the bond (i.e., the maturity risk premium of a one-year bond is zero). The real risk-free rate is assumed to be constant over time. What is the real risk-free rate of interest? Group of answer choices 3.00% 1.75% 1.00% 2.50%
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%.

Treasury securities that mature in 6 years currently have an interest rate of 7.00 percent. Inflation is expected to be 5 percent in each of the next three years and 6 percent each year thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.10% × (t-1), where t is equal to the maturity of the bond (i.e., the maturity risk premium of a one-year bond is zero).

Please answer part A-D and give a short explanation of how you arrived at the answer. A) Treasury securities that mature in 10 years currently have an interest rate of 14.7%. Inflation is expected to be 5% each of the next three years and 6% each year after the third year. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.2%(t - 1), where t is equal to the maturity of the bond (i.e., the maturity risk premium of a one-year bond is zero). The real risk-free rate is assumed to be constant over time. What is the real risk-free rate of interest? B) Assume that the expectations theory holds, and that liquidity and maturity risk premiums are zero. If the annual rate of interest on a 2-year Treasury bond is 14.8 percent and the rate on a 1-year Treasury bond is 16.3 percent, what rate of interest should you expect on a 1-year Treasury bond one year from now? C) Assume that a 3-year Treasury note has no maturity premium, and that the real, risk-free rate of interest is 3 percent. If the T-note…
An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 14,25% in Year 1, 12,20% in Year 2, 9,60%. in Year 3 and 8,00% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2,00% and that this rate will remain constant. Three-year Treasury securities yield 12,87%, while 7-year Treasury securities yield 13,47%. What is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPS) on the two securities; that is, what is MRP, - MRP3?
