The pure expectations theory, or the expectations hypothesis, asserts that long-term interest rates can be used to estimate future short-term interest rates.
Based on the pure expectations theory, is the following statement true or false?
Q1. A certificate of deposit (CD) for two years will have the same yield as a CD for one year followed by an investment in another one-year CD after one year.
a. True
b. False
Q2. The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.9200%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 5.9040% yield. Assuming that the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the market’s estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
a. 5.8627%
b. 6.8973%
c. 7.8629%
d. 8.7596%
Q3. Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 4.9200% and 5.9040% on a two-year Treasury security. Suppose the one-year security does not have a maturity risk premium, but the two-year security does and it is 0.2%. What is…
Suppose we observe the 3-year Treasury security rate (1R3) to be 8 percent, the expected 1-year rate next year—E(2r1)—to be 4 percent, and the expected one-year rate the following year—E(3r1)—to be 6 percent. If the unbiased expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the 1-year Treasury security rate, 1R1? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Suppose we observe the following rates: 1R1 = 10%, 1R2 = 12%. If the unbiased expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates
holds, what is the 1-year interest rate expected one year from now, E(2r1)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your
answer to 2 decimal places.)
