Assume investors are indifferent among security maturities. Today, the annualized 2-year interest rate is 2.20 percent, and the 1-year interest rate is 2 percent. What is the forward rate according to the pure expectations theory? Group of answer choices 2.25% 2.20% 2.00% 2.40%
Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.2%, the average future inflation rate is 1.9%, and a maturity premium of 0.05% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.05% (t), where t is the years to maturity. What rate of return would you expect on a 5-year Treasury security, assuming the pure expectations theory is NOT valid? O 6.25% O 6.55% O 5.65% O 5.95% O 5.35%
EXPECTATIONS THEORY Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2% and that the risk premium is zero. If a 1-year Treasury bond yield is 5% and a 2-year Treasury bond yields 7%, what is the 1-year interest rate that is expected for Year 2? Calculate this yield using a geometric average. What inflation rate is expected during Year 2? Comment on why the average interest rate during the 2-year period differs from the 1-year interest rate expected for Year 2. 6-15 maturity
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 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?
Only typed answer Suppose that the current 4-year treasury security rate is 5.5 percent and the 1-year treasury rate is 3.75 percent. According to the unbiased expectations theory, what should be the 3-year expected rate 1-year from now? Group of answer choices 6.09% 6.39% 5.88% 4.74%
Suppose the real risk-free rate is 4.20%, the average expected future inflation rate is 3.10%, and a maturity risk premium of 0.10% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP 0.10% (t), where t is the years to maturity, hence the pure expectations theory is NOT valid. What rate of return would you expect on a 4-year Treasury security? O 7.80% O 7.90% O 7.70% O 8.10% O 8.00%
QUESTION 18 Suppose that the 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 4-year spot rates are observed as follows: r1=9.7%, r2=10.2%, r3=10.9%, r4-12.3%, What must be the expected return in year 4 under the liquidity preference theory if the liquidity premium is 0.49%? Oa. 18.63% Ob. 16.61% c. 16.12% Od. 18.14%
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? 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. True O False The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.6900%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 7.0350% 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? O 9.4500% O 10.7730% O 8.0325% O 12.0015%
The yield curve for default-free zero-coupon bonds is currently as follows: Maturity (years) 1 2 3 YTM 9% 11 13 Assume that the pure expectations hypothesis of the term structure is correct. What is the market expectation for the YTM of a one-year zero-coupon bond to be issued a year from now? Enter your answer as a percentage. For example, if your answer is 0.1234 or 12.34%, enter "12.34".
