Briefly explain why bonds of different maturities have different yields in terms of the expectations and liquidity preference hypotheses. Briefly describe the implications of each hypothesis when the yield curve is (1) upward-sloping and (2) downward-sloping.
If the yield curve in the bond market shows a flat curve, what do you think about the prediction of the liquidity premium in explaining this phenomenon? Then do you prefer the prediction of expectation theory in explaining this phenomenon?
The curvature of the bond price yield curve has been explained to be caused by threebasic theories or hypotheses, namelya) Liquidity preference theoryb) Market segmentation hypothesisc) Expectation hypothesisExplain each of the above and how they influence the price-yield curve
Describe each of the following methods for estimating the cost of equity: (a) the CAPM, (b) DCF,and (c) the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium.Where can you obtain inputs for each of thesemethods, and how accurate are estimates basedon each procedure? Can you state categoricallythat one method is better than the others, or doesthe “best” method depend on the circumstances?
The yield curve varies over time based the relative riskiness of buying a single long-term bond versus purchasing multiple short-term bonds. This explanation of the yield curve is most consistent with A.the Fisher Effect theoryB.the market segmentation theoryC.the unbiased expectations theoryD.the liquidity preference theory
If the liquidity preference hypothesis is true, what shape should the term structure curve have in a period where interest rates are expected to be constant?a. Upward sloping.b. Downward sloping.c. Flat.
There are three explanations for the shape of the yield curve i.e. Unbiased expectations theory, Liquidity theory, and Market segmentation theory. Please Discuss each one and compare them.
An upward-sloping yield curve may be an indication that interest rates are expected to increase. may incorporate a liquidity premium. may reflect the confounding of the liquidity premium with interest rate- expectations. All of the opțions are correct. None of the options are correct.
