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 = 7%, E(2r1) = 8%, E3) = 8.60%, E(4r 1) = 8.95% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities. Note: Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34). Years Current (Long-term) Rates 1 % 2 3 % % %
