Assume that the Pure Expectations Theory of the term structure is correct. Also assume that the interest rate today on a 9-year security is 6.40%, while the interest rate today on a 15-year security is 8.00%. Finally assume that the interest rate on a 3-year security to be bought at Year 9 and held over Years 10, 11, and 12 is 6.80%. Given this information, determine the average annual returm that investors today must expect that they will receive from investing in a 3-year security in 12 Years (that is, buying the security at Year 12 and holding it over Years 13, 14, and 15).

Please show working. Please answer 1 and 2 1. The real risk-free rate is 2.75%, and inflation is expected to be 4.00% for the next 2 years. A 2-year Treasury security yields 8.25%. What is the maturity risk premium for the 2-year security? Round your answer to two decimal places. 2. The real risk-free rate is 2.9%. Inflation is expected to be 2.2% this year, 4.8% next year, and 2.65% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.05 × (t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. What is the yield on a 7-year Treasury note? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Suppose the interest rate on a 1-year government bond is 3.00%, on a 4-year government bond is 3.50% and that on a 6-year government bond is 4.90%. What is the market's forecast for 2-year rates 4 years from now, assuming the pure expectations theory is correct? Show your work.
b. Suppose you are considering two possible investment opportunities: a 12-year Treasury bond and a 7-year, AA-rated corporate band. The current real risk-free rate is 5%, and inflation is expected to be 2% for the next 2 years, 3% for the following 4 years, and 4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated by this formula: MRP = 0.03 (t-1) %. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimated to be 0.2%. You may determine the default risk premium (DRP), given the company's bond rating, from the following table. Remember to subtract the bond's LP from the corporate spread given in the table to arrive at the bond's DRP. Rate 0.83% 1.03 1.35 1.73 Corporate Bond Yield Spread = DRP + LP U.S. Treasury AAA corporate 0.20% AA corporate 0.52 A corporate 0.90 What yield would you predict for each of these two investments? Round your answers to three decimal places, 12-year Treasury yield: 7-year Corporate yield: % %
suppose that real risk free rate is 3.40% and the future rate of inflation is expected to be constant at 1.50%. What rate of return would you expect on a Treasury Bill, assuming the pure expectations theory is valid.
