Suppose that the current three-year rate (three-year spot rate) and expected one- year T-bill rates over the following years are as follows: 1 R3 = 12% E(271) = 8% E(371) = 10% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current rates for one- and two-year maturity Treasury securities, i.e., 1 R₁ and 1 R2. Convert your answers to percentages. 1R1 = 17.39%; 1R2 = 12.56% O 1R1 = 20.73; 1R2 = 11.49% O 1R1 = 18.26%; 1R2 = 13.01% O 1R1 = 19.52; 1R2 = 14.74%
As of November 14, 2023, Treasury yields were as follows: 1-year 5.24% 2-year 4.80% 3-year 4.56% 5-year 4.42% 10-year 4.44% 30-year 4.61% Use these yields to answer the questions below. a. What do the rates above imply about the shape of the yield curve? Explain. b. Using the pure expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates, carefully explain how the general shape of the yield curve described in (a) could come about.

Yield curve A firm wishing to evaluate interest rate behavior has gathered yield data on five U.S. Treasury securities, each having a different maturity and all measured at the same point in time. The summarized data follow U.S. Treasury security Time to maturity Yield A 1 years 12.6% B 10 years 11.2% C 6 months 13.0 % D 20 years 11.0% E 5 year 11.4% a. Draw the yield curve associated with these data. b. Describe the resulting yield curve in part a, and explain what it says about the direction of future interest rates under the expectations theory.
