Finding Forward Rates
Suppose the following yield curve: 1-period rate = 4.75%, 2-period rate=4.85%, 3-period rate=
4.90%, 4 period rate=5.01%. What is the 2 year forward rate in 2 years? What is 1 year rate in 2
years?
An investment offers a total return of 13.8 percent over the coming year. You believe the total real return will be only 9.4 percent. What do you believe the exact inflation rate will be for the next year?
Please show how to solve this by using Excel, thank you.

- You note the following yield curve in The Wall Street Journal. According to the unbiased expectations theory, what is the one-year? forward rate for the period beginning two years from todayMaturity Yield One day 2.00% One year 5.50 Two years 6.50 Three years 9.00arrow_forwardThe yield curve indicates that the two-year interest rate will be a function of what variables? Include in your answer an explanation of how changes in these variables will affect the two-year interest rate.arrow_forwardLet us consider the following scenario: two years in a row, the yearly yields on a bank account are independent random values taken from distributions with means of 6.1% and 8.9%, respectively. Moreover, suppose that the yield variances in these years approximate to 0.011^2 and 0.023^2Therefore, if an investor deposits £7,500 at the start of every year, figure out the anticipated total amount in the bank account at the end of the second year and the standard deviation of the total amount in the bank account at the end of the second yeararrow_forward
