Use the following spot rates to answer the following questions. Maturity Spot rate (%) 1 year 4.93% 2-years 4.47% 3-years 4.12% 5-years 3.84% 10-years 3.68% Assume that Citibank is offering to sell a one-year Treasury bill next year with a rate of 5% (i.e., you can enter into a contract today to lock in a 5% return on a one-year security purchased/sold next year). Based on the above spot rates, does the Citibank offer generate any arbitrage opportunities? If so, compute the total $ profits that can be generated from this opportunity, specifying the steps you would take. Assume you will borrow/invest $1,000. O Yes: profit of $5.55/ $1000 borrowed. O No: $0 O No: Loss of $5.55/ $1000 borrowed.based on Citibank's offered rate. O Yes: $55.55/$1000 borrowed.
Using the Treasury yield information in part c, calculate the following rates using geometric averages (round your answers to three decimal places): The 1-year rate, 1 year from now The 5-year rate, 5 years from now The 10-year rate, 10 years from now The 10-year rate, 20 years from now
Assume the current Treasury yield curve shows that the spot rates for six months, one year, and one and a half years are 1.0%, 1.1%, and 1.3%, all quoted as semiannually compounded APRs. What is the price of a $1,000 par, 5% coupon bond maturing in one and a half years (the next coupon is exactly six months from now)?
Suppose the September Eurodollar futures contract has a price of 96.4. You plan to borrow $50m for 3 months in September at LIBOR, and you intend to use the Eurodollar contract to hedge your borrowing rate. a. What rate can you secure? b. Will you be long or short the Eurodollar contract? c. How many contracts will you enter into? d. Assuming the true 3-month LIBOR is 1% in September, what is the settlement in dollars at expiration of the futures contract? (For purposes of this question, ignore daily marking-to-market on the futures contract.)
The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.6900%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 6.3315% yield. Assuming that the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.) 6.799% O7.9988% O9.1186% O 10.1585% Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 4.6900% and 6.3315% on a two-year Treasury security. Suppose the one-year security does not have a maturity risk premium, but the two-year security does and it is 0.15%. What is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now?

Example: suppose that the three-month T-bills annualized rate is 8% and that Elizabeth company plans to issue 90-days commercial paper. If Elizabeth co. believes that an 0.7 percent default risk premium, an 0.2 percent liquidity premium, and a 0.3 percent tax adjustmer are necessary to sell its commercial paper to investors. What is the appropriate yield to be offered on the commercial paper? If the default risk premium decreases from 0.7 percent to 0.5 percent but the annualized T-bills rate increases from 8percent to 8.7 percent, what is the appropriate yield to be offered on the commercial paper?
A credit default swap requires a semi annual payment at the rate of 200 basis points per year. The principal is $1 billion and the credit default swap is settled in cash. A default occurs after four years and two months, and the calculation agent estimates that the price of the cheapest deliverable bond is 60% of its face value shortly after the default. List the cash flows and their timing for the seller of the credit default swap..
A commercial bill with a face value of $100,000 and 270 days to maturity is purchased with a yield to maturity of 4.65 per cent per annum. After the bill has been held for 110 days it is sold at a yield of 4.5 per cent per annum. What rate of return was earned by the original holder of the bill; that is, what is the holding period yield? Show your working.
A corporation is planning to sell its 90 - day commercial paper to investors offering a 10.2 percent yield. If the liquidity premium is estimated to be 0.2 percent, and there is a 0.4 percent tax adjustment. Also, the three month real annualized rate is 5.6 percent and expected inflation is 1.1 percent. What is the appropriate default premium?
Can you explain step by step how you get $1,104.23 by plugging in the numbers and using the formula below?: Given: Coupon rate (6.55%), maturity (15 years), purchase YTM (6.15%). Adjust coupon and maturity for semi-annual periods: Coupon per period = 6.55% / 2 = 3.275%. Number of periods = 15 years * 2 = 30 periods. Use the bond pricing formula: Price = (Coupon * (1 - (1 + YTM/2)^-Number of periods)) / (YTM/2 + (1 + YTM/2)^-Number of periods) Plug in the values: Price ≈ $1,104.23.
Suppose the interest rate on a 3-year Treasury Note is 2.25%, and 5-year Notes are yielding 4.00%. Based on the expectations theory, what does the market believe that 2-year Treasuries will be yielding 3 years from now?
On the London Metals Exchange, the price for copper to be delivered in one year is $5,500 a ton. (Note: Payment is made when the copper is delivered.) The risk-free interest rate is 2% and the expected market return is 8%. a. Suppose that you expect to produce and sell 10,000 tons of copper next year. What is the PV of this output? Assume that the sale occurs at the end of the year. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places. b-1. If copper has a beta of 1.2, what is the expected price of copper at the end of the year? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. b-2. Assume copper has a beta of 1.2. What is the certainty-equivalent end-of-year price? X Answer is complete but not entirely correct. 53.92 million per ton a. Present value b-1. Expected price b-2. Certainty-equivalent price $ $ IS 6,383.38 5,937 per ton
