Maturity (years)	1	2	3
Spot rate	2%	2.7%	3.3%

Part 1

If this security is fairly priced in today's market, what must be true about the YTM?

Check all that apply:

Being the complex average of 1-yr and 2-yr Treasury spot rates, YTM is quite close to 1-yr spot rate but quite far from 2-yr spot rate

3.3% > YTM > 2.7%

YTM > 3.3%

2.7% > YTM > 2%

Being the complex average of 1-yr and 2-yr Treasury spot rates, YTM is quite close to 2-yr spot rate but quite far from 1-yr spot rate

YTM < 2%

Part 2

If this security is under-priced but greater than $1,000 in today's market, what can you conclude about the YTM?

Check all that apply:

3.3% > YTM > 2.7%

2.7% > YTM > 2%

YTM must be greater than that computed in Part 1

YTM < 3.5%

Treasury spot rates are as follows in today's market: Maturity (years) 1 2 3 Spot rate 1.9% 2.8% 3% One year ago, a 3-year Treasury note ($1,000 face value, 5.2% coupon rate and pays annual coupon) was issued. This security paid out its first coupon yesterday. Based on the spot rates in the table, this security should be fairly priced TODAY at $1,046.5. (hints: is this coupon bond still a 3-yr bond as of TODAY?) However, the bond is traded at $1,043 in the market today, what is the YTM? Round to 4 decimal places.

The pure expectations theory, or the expectations hypothesis, asserts that long-term interest rates can be used to estimate future short-term interest rates. Based on the pure expectations theory, is the following statement true or false? A certificate of deposit (CD) for two years will have the same yield as a CD for one year followed by an investment in another one-year CD after one year. True O False The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.6900%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 7.0350% yield. Assuming that the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? O 9.4500% O 10.7730% O 8.0325% O 12.0015%
