Assume the Liquidity Premium Theory of the Term Structure of Interest Rates holds. The WSJ quotes 0.25% annual yield on a one-year T-note and 0.5% annual yield on a two-year T-note. Suppose the annual yield on a one-year T-note is expected to stay at 0.25% over the next 2 years. What must be the liquidity premium on a two-year T-note?

Define the stated (quoted) or nominal rate INOM as well as the periodic rate IPER. Will the future value be larger or smaller if we compound an initial amount more often than annually—for example, every 6 months, or semiannually—holding the stated interest rate constant? Why? What is the future value of $100 after 5 years under 12% annual compounding? Semiannual compounding? Quarterly compounding? Monthly compounding? Daily compounding? What is the effective annual rate (EAR or EFF%)? What is the EFF% for a nominal rate of 12%, compounded semiannually? Compounded quarterly? Compounded monthly? Compounded daily?
Suppose that the current 6-month, 1-year, 1.5-year and 2-year interest rates are 2.2%,3%, 3.5% and 3.75%, respectively. a) Calculate the prices of a 1-year and 2-year Treasury bonds. In each case, assumethe face value of £100 and the coupon rate of 5% per annum and that coupons arepaid semi-annually. Assume continuous compounding. Compare the obtainedresults. Are they consistent with your expectations? b) Calculate the par yield on the 1-year bond with semi-annual coupons
Suppose that 6-month, 12-month, 18-month, 24-month, and 30-month zero rates are 4%, 4.2%, 4.4%, 4.6%, and 4.7% per annum with continuous compounding respectively. Estimate the cash price of a bond with a face value of 100 that will mature in 30 months and pays a coupon of 5% per annum semiannually
Suppose the current forward curve for one-year rates is the following: Time Period Forward Rate f(0,1) 2.5% f(1,1) 3.6% f(2,1) 4.5% f(3,1) 5.1% Calculate the spot rates for 2-year, 3-years and 4-year spot rates Calculate the forward rates f(1, 2), f(1, 3), and f(2, 2) 3) Use the information to value a 4-year bond that pays 4.5% annual coupons.
The real risk-free rate of interest, r*, is 4 percent, and it is expected to remain constant over time. Inflation is expected to be 2 percent per year for the next three years, after which time inflation is expected to remain at a constant rate of 5 percent per year. The maturity risk premium is equal to 0.1(t - 1)%, where t = the bond’s maturity. What is the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond?
Assume that the real risk-free rate of return, k*, is 3%, and it will remain at that level far into the future. Also assume that maturity risk premiums (MRP) increase from zero for bonds that mature in one year or less to a maximum of 1%, and MRP increases by 0.2% for each year to maturity that is greater than one year-that is, MRP equals 0.2% for two-year bond, 0.4% for a three-year bond, and so forth. Following are the expected inflation rates for the next five years: Year Inflation Rate (%) 2017 5 2018 6 2019 7 2020 8 2021 9 a) Compute the interest rate for a one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-year bond. b) If inflation is expected to equal 9% every year after 2021, what should be the interest rate for a 10- and 20-year bond? c) Plot the yield curve for the interest rates you computed in part [a] and [b]. d) Based on the curve (in part c), interpret your findings.
he real short-term risk - free rate is 0.5% and the expected inflation rate is 1% for each of the next three years, and 1.5% for each of the following two years. Two - year Treasury notes yield 2.9% and five - year Treasury notes yield 4.1%. What is the maturity risk premium on the two year note?
A fixed income analyst has made the following assessments: The risk-free rate is expected to remain at 2.5% for the next 10 year. Inflation is expected to be 3% this year, 4% next year and 5% a year thereafter. The maturity risk-premium is 0.1% (t-1), where t= maturity of the bond. A 5-year corporate bond currently yield 8.5 percent. What will be the yield on the bond one year from now, if the above assessments are correct, and the bond's default premium and liquidity premium remain unchanged?
Suppose the real risk-free rate is 2.80%, the average future inflation rate is 2.30%, a maturity premium of 0.25% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.25%(t), where t is the number of years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 0.50% and a default risk premium of 2.50% applies to A-rated corporate bonds. What is the difference in the yields on a 5-year A-rated corporate bond and on a 10-year Treasury bond?

The pure expectations theory, or the expectations hypothesis, asserts that long-term interest rates can be used to estimate future short-term interest rates. Based on the pure expectations theory, is the following statement true or false? Q1. A certificate of deposit (CD) for two years will have the same yield as a CD for one year followed by an investment in another one-year CD after one year. a. True b. False Q2. The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.9200%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 5.9040% 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.) a. 5.8627% b. 6.8973% c. 7.8629% d. 8.7596% Q3. Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 4.9200% and 5.9040% 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 0.2%. What is…
