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 9.00
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?
If you are promised a nominal return of 16%, on a one-year investment, and you expect the rate of inflation to be 2%, what real rate do you expect to earn? Use the Fisher equation, NOT the approximation.

- Let 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_forwardinvestment will be only 9 percent.
