Unbiased Expectations Theory One-year Treasury bills currently earn 5.05 percent. You expect that one year from now, one-year Treasury bill rates will increase to 5.20 percent.

The current one-year T-bill rate is .40 percent and the expected one-year rate 12 months from now is 7.70 percent. According to the unbiased expectations theory, what should be the current rate for a two-year Treasury security? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Suppose that the current one-year Treasury bill rate is 3.15%, and the current (annual) rate for a two-year Treasury security is 3.70%. According to the unbiased expectations theory, what should be the expected one-year rate 12 months from now?

The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 5.1500%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 6.1800% 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.) 7.2201% 8.2309% 6.1371% 9.1695% Recall that on a one-year Treasury security, the yield is 5.1500% and 6.1800% 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 0.4%. What is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.) 7.3117% 8.1455% 6.4138% 5.4517% Suppose the yield on a two-year Treasury security is 5.83%, and the yield on a five-year Treasury security is 6.20%. Assuming that the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the market's estimate of the three-year Treasury rate two years from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.) 5.46% 6.45% 6.53% 7.10%
