Ma4. Please give only typed answer. The function s(t) = 0.15 − 0.03 e− t/4 provides the term structure of effective annual rates of zero coupon bonds of maturity t, with t in years. Find the following: (a) The effective annual rate of a 3 year zero coupon bond. (b) The 2-year forward effective annual rate for a one year period. (c) The forward effective annual rate for a one year period, 3 years forward. (d) The 3-year forward effective annual rate for a 3 month period. (e) The forward effective annual rate for a one day period, 3 years forward (the “overnight” rate). (Use 1/365 for a one-day period.) Answer as a percentage, correct to 2 decimals.

Suppose you are considering two possible investment opportunities: a 12-yearTreasury bond and a 7-year, A-rated corporate bond. The current real risk-free rateis 4%, and inflation is expected to be 2% for the next 2 years, 3% for the following4 years, and 4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated by this formula:MRP = 0.02(t - 1)%. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimatedto be 0.3%. You may determine the default risk premium (DRP), given thecompany’s bond rating, from the table below. Remember to subtract the bond’s LPfrom the corporate spread given in the table to arrive at the bond’s DRP. Whatyield would you predict for each of these two investments?RateCorporate Bond Yield
An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 2.1% in Year 1, 3.0% in Year 2, and 4.25% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2.25% and that this rate will remain constant. Three-year Treasury securities yield 5.20%, while 5-year Treasury securities yield 6.00%. What is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPs) on the two securities; that is, what is MRP5 - MRP3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
