The real risk-free rate is 2.85%. Inflation is expected to be 3.85% this year, 5.15% next year, and 2.4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.05 × (t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. What is the yield on a 7-year Treasury note?
The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.4600%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 6.6900% 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? (Note: Do not round your intermediate
calculations.)

Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 4.4600% and 6.6900% on a two-year Treasury security. Suppose the one-year security does
not have a maturity risk premium, but the two-year security does and it is 0.3%. What is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year
from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

The real risk-free rate is 2.15%. Inflation is expected to be 3.15% this year, 4.95% next year, and 2.7% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.05 × (t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. What is the yield on a 7-year Treasury note? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
