QUESTION 1 Suppose that the current one-year rate and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: IRI-2.47%, E(2rl)-3.11%, E(3rl)-4.23%, E(4rl)-5.18% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current rate for three-year- maturity Treasury securities (Write your answer in percentage not decimal for example 5.78%) current rate for three-year-maturity = 3.27%
Q2: Suppose the current 1-year spot rate is 3% and the forward rate from time 1 to time 2 consistent with the current term structure of interest rates is 2%. Determine the 2-year discount factor from time 2 back to time 0.
Assume that you are given the following historical returns for the Market and Security J. Also assume that the expected risk-free rate for the coming year is 4.0 percent, while the expected market risk premium is 15.0 percent. Given this information, determine the required rate of return for Security J for the coming year, using CAPM. Year 1 2 O21.20% 3 4 5 6 O22.34% O 23.49% O24.63% O24.10% Market 10.00% 12.00% 16.00% 14.00% 12.00% 10.00% Security J 12.00% 14.00% 18.00% 22.00% 18.00% 14.00%
Unbiased Expectations Theory Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 1R1=4.25%, E(2r1) =5.25%, E(3r1) =5.75%, E(4r1)=6.10% Using the unbiased expectations theory, what is the current (long-term) rate for four-year-maturity Treasury securities?
Only typed answer Suppose that the current 4-year treasury security rate is 5.5 percent and the 1-year treasury rate is 3.75 percent. According to the unbiased expectations theory, what should be the 3-year expected rate 1-year from now? Group of answer choices 6.09% 6.39% 5.88% 4.74%
Example: suppose the following rates on risk-free zeros: Maturity (years) Yield to Maturity (y) 1 2 3 4 2.5% 3.5% 5% 6.5% Forward Rate 4.51% 8.07% 11.1% Calculate the effective 2-year forward rate in 2-years: 2f2
ok t 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 = 0.65% E(201) = 1.80 % L2 = 0.04% E(301) = 1.98% L3 = 0.08% E(471) = 2.20% L4 = 0.10% Using the liquidity premium theory, determine the current (long-term) rates. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Years 1 2 3 4 Current (Long- Term) Rates % % % %
Question 2: Given the interest rate determinants information below: Scenario A Scenario B Average expected inflation (IP) 4% 8% Risk-free rate of return (Rf) 1.75% 3% Default Risk Premium (DRP) 1.1% 0.6% Maturity risk premium (MRP) .008 x (t – 1) .006 x (t – 1) Determine the Nominal interest rate (INOM) on 10 years’ (t) security for both the scenarios to decide whether Scenario A or Scenario B is better.
11 Unbiased Expectations Theory Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year T- bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows 1R₁ = 4.85%, E(271) = 5.85%, E(371) = 6.35%, E(471) = 6.70% Using the unbiased expectations theory, what is the current (long-term) rate for four-year-maturity Treasury securities?
