Suppose 6-month Treasury bills are trading at a YTM of 1.1%, 12-month T-bills are trading at a YTM of 2.2%. If 18-month Treasury notes with a coupon rate of 3% are trading at par ($100), then what is the 18-month spot rate? Assume semi-annual compounding. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. For example if your answer is 3.205%, then please write down 0.0321.

After a 1 year investment you receive 7.4% interest (nominal) from your bank. However, looking at how prices have changed, you soon realize that the real rate of interest was actually 3.4%. How much was inflation during that year? Enter your answer as a percentage, rounded to 2 decimals, and without the percentage sign ('%'). For example, if your answer is 0.02345, then enter 2.35
At a growth (interest) rate of 24 percent annually, how long will it take for a sum to double? To triple? Use Appendix A for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. (Do not round intermediate calculations.

Jennifer Davis is planning to buy 10-year zero-coupon bonds issued by the u.s. treasury. if these bonds have a face value of $1000 and are currently selling at $410.63, what is the effective annual yield? assume that interest compounds semiannually on similar coupon-paying bonds. round final answer to 2 decimal places.
*Using Matlab* The current amount A of a principal P invested in a savings account paying an annual interest rate r is given by A = P(1+r/n)^(nt) where n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded. For continuous compounding, A = Pe^(rt). Suppose $10,000 is initially invested at 2.5 percent (r = 0.025). a. Plot A versus t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 20 years for four cases: continuous compounding, annual compounding (n = 1), quarterly compounding (n = 4), and monthly compounding (n = 12). Show all four cases on the same subplot and label each curve. On a second subplot, plot the difference between the amount obtained from continuous compounding and the other three cases. b. Redo part a, but plot A versus t on log-log and semilog plots. Which plot gives a straight line?
