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%
