(i) Write down an equation for the three main components of the nominal long term interest rate on a bond, clearly explaining what each symbol stands for.  (ii) Draw a negatively sloped yield curve and label it curve 1. On the same diagram draw a new yield curve labelled curve 2 if the expected rate of inflation both short and long term falls. Label your axes carefully.  (iii) Discuss how an increase in inflation uncertainty caused by the Ukraine war can affect the expected rate of inflation and inflation uncertainty and thereby affect UK bonds yields and UK bond prices.
