Consider an investor who purchases a Treasury inflation-indexed note with an original principal amount of $100,000, a 2.875 percent annual coupon rate (coupon is paid semiannually), and 10 years to maturity. The semiannual inflation rate during the 6 months ending 3 months before the first coupon payment (the 3-month lag is necessary to allow for the release of the official CPI figures) is 0.97 percent. Over the next 6-month period inflation is 0.40 percent. Calculate the adjusted principal amount for the second coupon payment. Round the answer to two decimal places. Your Answer:
The size of the national debt concerns many people, but it continues to grow. Let's look at three possible ways to respond. 1. Pay interest only each year with the principal unchanged. 2. Pay neither principal nor interest so the interest compounds annually. (This is basically the situation in many recent years.) 3. Pay off the principal and interest on a regular basis. Assume a debt of $10 billion, an interest rate of 7%, and a 30-year period. Look at the total obligation resulting from each of these three strategies. By total obligation, we mean the amount paid plus the amount owed at the end of 30 years. Which strategy results in the smallest total obligation? O To pay the interest only each year with the principal unchanged. To pay neither the principal nor the interest so the interest compounds annually. To pay off the principal and interest on a regular basis.

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 = 1.00% E(271) = 2.15% L2= 0.05% E(351) = 2.25% L3= 0.10% E(471) = 2.55% L4= 0.12% 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). Years 1 2 3 4 Current (Long-term) Rates
