Suppose that the current 1-year rate (1-year spot rate) and expected 1-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows:1R1 = 2.62%, E(2r1) = 3.90%, E(3r1) = 4.40%, E(4r1) = 5.90%Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities
The n-year spot rate of interest per annum, in, is given by: b in = a(1.1)" +- n for n = 1, 2 and 3 and where a and b are constants. With time measured in years from the present, the implied one-year forward rates applicable at time 0 and at time 1 are 7.3% and 6.8%, respectively. Showing all of your workout, calculate to 5 decimal places the following: (i) the values of a and b; (ii) the implied two-year forward rate applicable at time 1; (iii) the price per £1 nominal at time t = 0 of a bond which pays annual coupons of 7% in arrears and is redeemed at 95% after 3 years.
The figure shows a graph that compares the present values of two ordinary annuities of $900 quarterly, one at 6% compounded quarterly and one at 9% compounded quarterly. Determine which graph corresponds to the 6% rate and which corresponds to the 9% rate.
Suppose the effective rate of interest is 4% per annum during 2010 and 2011, and 2.4695% per half year thereafter. Suppose also that the cashflows are +100 on 1 January 2010 and on 1 January 2011 -20 on 1 July 2011, 1 January 2012 and 1 January 2013, -35 on 1 July 2013 and 1 January 2014. What is the net value of these cashflows on i) 1 January 2014? ii) 1 January 2010? iii) 1 July 2012?
Assume inflation is 0.2% per month. Would you rather earn a nominal return of 0.75% per month, compounded monthly, or a real return of 6.5% APR, compounded annually? (Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.) The annual rate for the nominal return of 0.75% per month is (Type your answer in decimal format. Round to six decimal places.) The nominal annual rate for the real return of 6.5% APR is (Type your answer in decimal format. Round to six decimal places.) (Select from the drop-down menus.) Based on a comparison of the two rates and the current inflation rate, you would prefer the option over the option. real return compounded annually nominal return compounded monthly
Suppose that the current 1-year rate (1-year spot rate) and expected 1-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows:1R1 = 2.62%, E(2r1) = 3.90%, E(3r1) = 4.40%, E(4r1) = 5.90%Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities.
