There is an arbitrage which can only be made by initially borrowing GBP and then investing in THB. b. More than one of the options in this question are correct. The THB is selling at a premium to the GBP in the future. O d. There is an arbitrage which can only be made by initially borrowing THB and then investing in GBP.Suppose the term structure of risk-free interest rates is as shown below: 5 yr 7 yr 10 yr 20 yr Term 1 уг 2 yr 3 yr 3.24 3.79 4.09 5.05 2.07 2.46 2.71 Rate (EAR %) a. Calculate the present value of an investment that pays $1,000 in two years and $3,000 in five years for certain. b. Calculate the present value of receiving $100 per year, with certainty, at the end of the next five years. To find the rates for the missing years in the table, linearly interpolate between the years for which you do know the rates. (For example, the rate in year 4 would be the average rate in year 3 and year 5.) c. Calculate the present value of receiving $1,800 per year, with certainty, for the next 20 years. Infer rates for the missing years using linear interpolation. (Hint: Use a spreadsheet.)Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 5.6100% and 6.7320% on a two-year Treasury security.

We assume no income and that $1 per ounce per 6-months to store gold, with the payment being made at the end of the period. The spot price is $1620 and risk free rate is 2% for all maturities. How can an arbitrageur earn profit is the price of 6-month gold futures is 1630$?
- 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.
