Calculate: The expected one year interest rates under the expectations theory Calculate: The expected one year interest rates under the liquidity premium theory. Calculate: Explain the differences under the two theories.

Step 1
Under the expectations theory, the expected one year interest rate is equal to the average of the current and future yields to maturity. To calculate the expected one year interest rate for each bond, we need to find the average of the current yield to maturity Show more…

3. The yield to maturity on 1-year zero-coupon bonds is currently 7%; the YTM on 2-year zeros is 8%. The Treasury plans to issue a 2-year maturity coupon bond, paying coupons once per year with a coupon rate of 9%. The face value of the bond is $100. c. If the expectations theory of the yield curve is correct, what is the market expectation of the price for which the bond will sell next year? d. Recalculate your answer to part (c) if you believe in the liquidity preference theory and you believe that the liquidity premium is 1%.

1-year T-bill rates are expected to steadily increase by 150 basis points per year over the next 6 years. The current 1-year (0i1) interest rate is 7.5%. Assume that the Pure Expectations Hypothesis for interest rates holds. Determine the required interest rate on a 3-year T-bond Determine the required interest rate on a 6-year T-bond Government economists have forecasted one-year T-bill rates for the following five years as follows: Year 1-year rate 1 4.25% 2 5.15% 3 5.50% 4 6.25% 5 7.10% You have a liquidity premium of 0.25% for the next two years and 0.50% thereafter. Would you be willing to purchase a 4-year T-bond at a 5.75% interest rate? The interest rates on one- to five-year bonds are currently 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, and 8%, and the term premiums for one- to five-year bonds are 0%, 0.25%, 0.35%, 0.40%, and 0.50%. Predict what the one-year interest rate will be two years from now.
