The current market interest rate for one year maturity bond is 10%. The forward rate for a one year investment starting in one year from now is 8%. The forward rate for a one year investment starting in two year from now is 12%. According to the expectations theory of term structure, the shape of the yield curve between 1 year maturity and 3 year maturity is descending then ascending.

Assuming the expectations theory is the correct theory of the term structure, calculate the interest rates in the term structure for maturities of one to four years, and plot the resulting yield curves for the following paths of one-year interest nates over the next four years. a. $5 %, 7 %, 12 %, 12 %$ b. $5 %, 4 %, 3 %, 4 %$ How would your yield curves change if people preferred shorter-term bonds to longer-term bonds?

Based on an upward-sloping normal yield curve as shown, which of the following statements is correct? There is a positive maturity risk premium. If the pure expectations theory is correct, future short-term rates are expected to be higher than current short-term rates. Pure expectations theory must be correct. Inflation must be expected to increase in the future.
