Suppose you can observe that 1-year bond interest rate is 4%, 2-year bond interest rate is 8%, and 3-year bond interest rate is 10% at time t. It is also known that the term premium on a 2-year bond is 1% and the term premium on a 3-year bond is 1.5%. a) What are the market's expected 1-year bond interest rates for the next two years from time t? b) How to interpret those expected short-term interest rates? (what would be the "possible" economic meanings in the expected short- term interest rates?) Discuss as least two "candidates" to explain them.
Suppose you have the following liabilities: Liability 1: A one-time liability maturing in 4 years with the present value of $100. Liability 2: A one-time liability maturing in 8 years with the present value of $100. To immunize your liabilities using the following two bonds, what would be the weights of the two bonds in your immunizing bond portfolio? Bond A: A zero-coupon bond with a face value of $100 and a time to maturity of 3 years. Bond B: A zero-coupon bond with a face value of $100 and a time to maturity of 12 years. A. 33% in Bond A and 67% in bond B B. 70% in Bond A and 30% in bond B C. 30% in Bond A and 70% in bond B D. 67% in Bond A and 33% in bond B E. 50% in Bond A and 50% in bond B
Assume a bond with a 10% annual rate has 8 years left to maturity when market rates are at 12%. Assume semi-annual payments. What is the price of the bond at 3 different points in time - today, in 1 year, and in 2 years. Is this a discount or premium bond, and what do you notice about the relationship between the price and maturity value (FV) over time?
er the following: i. Two bonds, both with 10 years to maturity, have the same yield to maturity (equal to 5%) but different coupon rates. Coupon payments are annual. Bond A has a Macaulay duration of 7.06 and bond B has a Macaulay duration of 8.76. Based on this information, explain which bond you think has the lower coupon rate. Be sure to present your reasoning. Bond A in part (i) has a face value of $100 and a coupon rate of 4.5%. What is its price?
Bond A makes semi-annual interest payments of $30. Bond B makes an annual payment of $50. All else equal, which one has the lower coupon rate? Select one: a. B b. A=B c. A
If you have a coupon bond, its face value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 4%. Complete the following table, then calculate the rate of return for the bond.

Consider a 10-year bond with a face value of $1,000 that has a coupon rate of 5.8%, with semiannual payments.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The shorter the time to maturity, the greater the change in the value of a bond in response to a given change in interest rates, other things held constant. b. You hold two bonds. One is a 10-year, zero coupon, bond and the other is a 10-year bond that pays a 6% annual coupon. The same market rate, 6%, applies to both bonds. If the market rate rises from the current level, the zero coupon bond will experience the smaller percentage decline. c. You hold two bonds, a 10-year, zero coupon, issue and a 10-year bond that pays a 6% annual coupon. The same market rate, 6%, applies to both bonds. If the market rate rises from its current level, the zero coupon bond will experience the larger percentage decline. d. The longer the time to maturity, the smaller the change in the value of a bond in response to a given change in interest rates. e. The time to maturity does not affect…

Suppose the yield on a two-year-old Treasury bond is 5 percent and the yield on a one-year Treasury bond is a 4 percent. If the maturity risk premium (MRP) on these bonds is zero (0), what is the expected one-year interest rate during the second year (Year 2)?
Consider a bond that has a life of 2 years and pays a coupon of 10% per annum (with semiannual payments); the yield is 5% per annum with semiannual compounding.(a) What is the bond’s price?(b) What is the bond’s duration?(c) Suppose that the bond price is the one you computed in part (a) and that the 6M, 12M, and 18M zero rates are respectively 4.2%, 4.8% and 5.6% per annum. What is the 2Y zero rate assuming all rates are quoted with semiannual compounding?
