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|
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.

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.

Suppose you want to detemine the forward rates for your client, a lender who is considering a Forward Rate Ageement (FRA). You have collected and organized the data for the risk-free zero interest rates with continuous compounding in the following table: Maturity(years) Zero Rate (% per annum) 1 2 3 4 2 3 5 6 5 What is the forward rate for the fourth year? (sample answer: 2.50%) Blank 1 What is the forward rate for the fifth year? (sample answer: 2.50%) Blank 2 7
If we require a 10% real return and we expect inflation to be 7%. Calculate the nominal rate of interest using the fisher effect equation and it's approximation. What is the difference between the two? Respuesta:
Assume that K=61, St =65, t = 0.25 (i.e. time to expiry is 3 months), and the risk-free rate is 0.04. The current price of the put option is p = 4. If the price of the call option is 7.17, describe the arbitrage that would be possible, and calculate the profit that would result.
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 = 1%, E(211) = 4.30%, E(31) = 4.80%, E471) = 6.30% Using the unblased expectations theory, calculate the current (longterm) rates for 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year-maturity Treasury securities. Plot the resulting yield curve. (Do not round Intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Year 1234 Current (Long-term) Rates %
Suppose the spot rates for the next three years are 4.2%, 4.6% and 4.8% respectively. The one year forward rates are 4.2%, 5.0015% and 5.2012%, respectively as well. Using a value of 10% for the volatility of the one year forward rate, construct a three-year binomial interest rate tree with one year forward rates.
