- You observe the following yield curve for Treasury securities: Maturity 1 Year 2 Years 3 Years 4 Years 5 Years Assume that the pure expectations hypothesis holds. What does the market expect will be the yield on 4-year securities, 1 year from today? O 6.45% O 6.30% O 6.15% O 6.00% Yield 2.40% 3.40% 4.00% 4.10% 5.40% 5.85%arrow_forwardQuantitative 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? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % b. What is the yield on a 5-year T-bond? Do not round intermediate calculations.

- please write out the explanationarrow_forwardConsider two types of bonds: A 10 year to maturity corporate bond and a 10 year to maturity Treasury bond. We know that Corporate Bonds have default risk. Discuss the impact on the markets for these two type of bonds & on the risk premium when there is a FALL in the risk of corporate default? Provide a DISCUSSION of the impact and ILLUSTRATE the impact graphically using two diagrams, one for corporate bonds and one for Treasuries. The diagrams should show the impact on each yield and the impact on the risk premium [label your diagram clearly to illustrate the old premium vs. the new premium]. hint: draw your diagrams side by side, so you can show the risk premiums as done in lecture.arrow_forwardThe rate of return on which one of the following has a risk premium of 0%?
