Unbiased Expectations Theory Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows 1R1=4.35%, E(2r1) =5.35%, E(3r1) =5.85%, E(4r1)=6.20% Using the unbiased expectations theory, what is the current (long-term) rate for four-year-maturity Treasury securities?
Suppose 1-year T-bills currently yield 7.00% and the future inflation rate is expected to be constant at 2.00% per year. What is the real risk-free rate of return, r*? The cross-product term should be considered , i.e., if averaging is required, use the geometric average. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Consider a stock where the current price is Ksh.120, the expected return is 20% per annum, and the volatility is 40% per annum. The expected stock price, E(ST) Þ, and the variance of the stock price, Var(ST), in 1 year.
A security that increases in price from $50 to $100 during year 1 and drops back to $50 during year 2. During year 3, 4, and year 5 the security increases by $30, $20, and $25 respectively. Required: 1. Solve for Holding Period Return (HPR) 2. Solve for Holding Period Yield (HPY) 3. Solve for Arithmetic Mean of Return and Geometric Mean of Return. Do the comparison and assessment specially in the first two years. 4. Present in a table form and show your computation/solutions.
If the rate of inflation is 2.8% per year, the future price p (t (in dollars) of a certain item can be modeled by the following exponential function, where t is the number of years from today. p(t) = 600(1.028) Find the current price of the item and the price 9 years from today. Round your answers to the nearest dollar as necessary. Current price: Price 9 years from today: S|
Based on economists' forecasts and analysis, 1-year Treasury bill rates and liquidity premiums for the next four years are expected to be as follows: R₁ = 0.55% R1 E(21) = 1.70% = 42 = 0.08% E(31) 1.80% 43 = L4= 0.12% 0.14% = E(41) 2.10% Using the liquidity premium theory, determine the current (long-term) rates. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34). Current (Long-term) Rates Years 1 % 2 % 3 % 4 5 %
Suppose that the current 1-year rate (1-year spot rate) and expected 1-year T-bill rates over the following three years (ie.. years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 181 = 4%, E(201) = 5%, E(31) = 5.50 %, E(41) = 5.85% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities.
