Suppose you can observe that 1-year bond
interest rate is 4%, 2-year bond interest rate is
8%, and 3-year bond interest rate is 10% at
time t. It is also known that the term premium
on a 2-year bond is 1% and the term premium
on a 3-year bond is 1.5%.
a) What are the market's expected 1-year
bond interest rates for the next two years
from time t?
b) How to interpret those expected short-term
interest rates? (what would be the "possible"
economic meanings in the expected short-
term interest rates?) Discuss as least two
"candidates" to explain them.
1) Suppose that today's one-year interest rate is 5%. Consider the following one-year interest rates expected to occur over the next four years: 6%, 7%, 8% and 9%.a. Calculate the interest rate for two-year bonds, based on the expectations theory.b. What about five-year bonds?
The interest rate on five-year Treasury bonds is 3.1 percent, the rate on six-year T-bonds is 2.9 percent, and the rate on seven-yearT-bonds is 2.6 percent. Using the expectations theory, compute the expected one-year interest rates in (a) Year 6 only and (b) Year 7 only.

- numerical answers should be calculated to at least two decimal places. Face value of bonds is taken as $100. assume coupon payments are paid once a year. Bond A: term to maturity=10 years, coupon rate = 9.75%, current price = $160.55. Find the current yield and yield to maturity of Bond A. Bond B: term to maturity-5 years, coupon rate = 11.25%, yield to maturity -2.35% p.a. Find the current price of Bond B. From your answer, what do say about this price when compared with the face value of the bond?arrow_forwardSuppose the yield on a one year bond is currently 2.5%. Further assume that the expected yield on a one-yea the next four years are, respectively: 2.4%, 2.3%, 2.2%, and 2.1%.
