The yield on a 15-year TIPS is 3% and the yield on a 15-year Treasury bond is 5%. What is the inflation premium for a 15-year security? (2%)

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)?

If the real rate of interest is 2%, inflation is expected to be 3% during the coming year, and the default risk premium, illiquidity risk premium, and maturity risk premium for the Bonds-R-Us Corporation are all 1% each, what would be the yield (stated rate) on a Bonds-R-Us bond?

A one-year bond currently pays 3.6% interest. It's expected that it will pay 3.1% next year and 2.0% the following year. The two-year term premium is 0.1% while the three-year term premium is 0.15%. What is the interest rate on a three-year bond according to the liquidity premium theory? O 3.00% O 1.15% O 3.05% O 2.9%

5-year Treasury bonds yield 3.6%. The inflation premium (IP) is 1.9%, and the maturity risk premium (MRP) on 5-year bonds is 0.4%. What is the real risk-free rate, r*?

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.

The real risk-free rate is 3 percent.  Inflation is expected to be 3.5 percent this year, 4.5 percent next year, and 5 percent thereafter.  The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.14 ´ (t - 1)%, where t is the number of years to maturity.  What is the yield on a 6-year Treasury note?   a. 0.84%   b. 8.70%   c. 8.37%   d. 7.20%   e. 7.67%

According to the expectations theory of the term structure of interest, if the 1-year bond rate today is 6.50% p.a., the 2-year bond rate today is 6.70% p.a., and the 3-year bond rate today is 7.00%, what will be the 2-year bond rate next year?

Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2% and that the maturityrisk premium is zero. If a 1-year Treasury bond yield is 5% and a 2-year Treasury bondyields 7%, what is the 1-year interest rate that is expected for Year 2? Calculate this yieldusing a geometric average. What inflation rate is expected during Year 2? Comment onwhy the average interest rate during the 2-year period differs from the 1-year interestrate expected for Year 2.

The three-year interest rate is 7.40% and the four-year interest rate is 8.6%. The liquidity premium for three-year and four-year bonds are 0.40 and 0.60 respectively. Calculate the adjusted forward rate forecast for three-year periods in the future
