Unbiased Expectations Theory One-year Treasury bills currently earn 5.00 percent. You expect that one year from now, one-year Treasury bill rates will increase to 5.15 percent. If the unbiased expectations theory is correct, what should the current rate be on two-year Treasury securities?

Liquidity Premium Hypothesis Based on economists' forecasts and analysis, one-year Treasury bill rates and liquidity premiums for the next four years are expected to be as follows: R1 = 7.20% E(r2) 8.30% L2 .65% %3D E(r3) = 8.40% L3 = .75% E(r4) = 8.70% L4 = .80% Using the liquidity premium hypothesis, what is the current rate on a four-year Treasury security?

Quantitative Problem: An analyst evaluating securities has obtained the following information. The real rate of interest is 2.5% and is expected to remain constant for the next 5 years. Inflation is expected to be 2% next year, 3% the following year, 4% the third year, and 5% every year thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.1 x (t- 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. The liquidity premium on relevant 5-year securities is 0.5% and the default risk premium on relevant 5-year securities is 1%. a. What is the yield on a 1-year T-bill?
