Answer to Problem 14P

The current rate of one-year is 5.65%, two-year is 6.22%, three-year is 6.47% and four-year treasury security is 6.67%.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the current rate of one-year and two-year treasury security

The current rate of one-year treasury security is already given, which is 5.65%.

CurrentRate2Year=[((1+RateYear1)×(1+ExpectedRateYear2+LiquidityPremiumYear2))(1n)1]=[((1+5.65%)×(1+6.75%+0.05%))(12)1]=[1.0622341]=0.062234or6.22%

Therefore, the current rate of two-year treasury security is 6.22%.

Determine the current rate of three-year treasury security

CurrentRate3Year=[((1+RateYear1)×(1+ExpectedRateYear2+LiquidityPremiumYear2)×(1+ExpectedRateYear3+LiquidityPremiumYear3))(1n)1]=[((1+5.65%)×(1+6.75%+0.05%)×(1+6.85%+0.10%))(13)1]=[1.0646511]=0.064651or6.47%

Therefore, the current rate of three-year treasury security is 6.47%.

Determine the current rate of four-year treasury security

CurrentRate3Year=[((1+RateYear1)×(1+ExpectedRateYear2+LiquidityPremiumYear2)×(1+ExpectedRateYear3+LiquidityPremiumYear3)+(1+ExpectedRateYear4+LiquidityPremiumYear4))(1n)1]=[((1+5.65%)×(1+6.75%+0.05%)×(1+6.85%+0.10%)×(1+7.15%+0.12%))(14)1]=[1.0666571]=0.066657or6.67%

Therefore, the current rate of four-year treasury security is 6.67%.

Treasury securities are issued and backed by the U.S. government and, therefore, are considered to be the lowest-risk securities on the market. As an investor looking for protection against inflation, you are considering the purchase of inflation-adjusted bonds known as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With these securities, the face value (which is paid at maturity) and the bond interest rate (which is paid semiannually) is regularly adjusted to account for inflation. However, for this problem only, assume the semi-annual interest payment (called the bond dividend) remains the same. You purchased a 10-year $10,000 TIPS bond with dividend of 4% per year payable semiannually (i.e., $200 every 6 months). Assume there is no inflation adjustment for the first 5 years, but in years 6 through 10, the bond face value increases by $850 each year. You use an expected investment return of 11% per year compounded semiannually. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an…
