1) Suppose that today's one-year interest rate is 5%. Consider the following one-year interest rates expected to occur over the next four years: 6%, 7%, 8% and 9%.a. Calculate the interest rate for two-year bonds, based on the expectations theory.b. What about five-year bonds?

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.

Suppose the current interest rate on a one-year bond is 2% and the current interest rate on a two-year bond is 4%. The term premium on a two-year bond is 1%. According to the expectations hypothesis, what interest rate should we expect on a one-year bond next year? Answer as a percentage to one decimal place and do not include symbols (e.g. $, %, commas) in your answer. Answer:

Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year government bonds over years 2, 3 and 4 are as follows: 1R1 = 4.80%, E(201) = 5.45%, E(3r1) = 5.95%, E(41) = 6.10% Assume that there are no liquidity premiums. To the nearest basis point, what is the current rate for the four-year-maturity government bond? < A. 5.57% B. 5.62% C. 5.83% D. 6.10%

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)?

The current 1-year, 2-year, and 3 year bond interest rates are 4%, 5%, and 6%, respectively. The expectations theory of the term structure predicts that the expected 1-year bond interest rate is ___% next year and _____% the year after.

One-year government bonds yield 6 percent and 2-year government bonds yield 5.5 percent. Assume that the expectations theory holds.  What does the market believe the rate on 1-year government bonds will be one year from today?

Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year government bonds over years 2, 3 and 4 are as follows: 1R1 = 4.80%, E(2r1) = 5.45%, E(3r1) = 5.95%, E(4r1) = 6.10% Assume that there are no liquidity premiums. To the nearest basis point, what is the current rate for the four-year-maturity government bond? 5.57% 5.62% 5.83% 6.10%
