Assume the current 1-year interest rate is 4%, and you expect the 1-year rate to be 5% next year and 7% in the following year. If the graph above is the yield curve given your expectations (we ignore the liquidity premium in this question), then, in the graph: Yield C b a 0 1 Yield curve 2 3 Time to maturity Oa-4% , b = 4.5 %, c = 5.33%. Oa-4% , b = 9% , c = 16%. Oa-4% , b-5%, c = 7%. Owe know that a -4% , but we don't know what the other numbers will be.

You observe the following yield curve: YTM 1-year Zero 2-year Zero 6.10% 6.20% 3-year Zero 6.30% 4-year Zero 6.40% (Round your final answers to 2 decimal pleces. Enter percentages "as-Is", without the % sign.) a) If you believe that the yield curve next year will be the same as today's, calculate the holding period return (1-year) on the 1-year Zero and the 4-year Zero. 1-year Zero HPR % 4-year Zero HPR | % b) Recalculate the return on the 4-year zero if you believe in the expectations hypothesis. 4-year Zero HPR %

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion to all parts The real risk-free rate, r*, is 2%, and inflation is expected to be 3.0% this year, 3.5% for the next two years; 4.0% the following year, and then 5.0% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.05%(t1), where t = number of years to maturity. Liquidity risk premium is 0.7%, default risk premium is 1%. - What are the Treasury yield for 3 years, and 6 years bonds? - What are the Corporate yield for 3 years, and 6 years bonds?
