Yield to maturities, par values and market prices for government securities (with annual interests) are given in the following table: Maturity (Years) Yield to maturity Par value (K) Market price (K) 1 3% 100 101.25 2 4% 100 103.50 3 5% 100 104.25 Assuming that the yields to maturities are equal to the coupon rates, calculate the one year, two year and three year spot rates.
The following are the current coupon yields to maturity and spot rates of interest for six U.S. Treasury securities. Assume that all securities pay interest annually. Yields to Maturity and Spot Rates of Interest Term to Maturity (yrs) Current Coupon Yield to Maturity (%) Spot Rate of Interest (%) 1-yr Treasury 5.25% 5.25% 2-yr Treasury 5.75% 5.79% 3-yr Treasury 6.15% 6.19% 5-yr Treasury 6.45% 6.51% 10-yr Treasury 6.95% 7.10% 30-yr Treasury 7.25% 7.67% Compute the 2-year implied forward rate three years from now, given the information provided in the preceding table. State the assumption underlying the calculation of the implied forward rate.
Suppose that the current one-year rate and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., year 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 1R1 = 5%, E(2r1)=6%, E(3r1)= 7%, E(4r1)=7.5% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current rates for three-year and four-year Treasury securities.
Yield curve A firm wishing to evaluate interest rate behavior has gathered yield data on five U.S. Treasury securities, each having a different maturity and all measured at the same point in time. The summarized data follow U.S. Treasury security Time to maturity Yield A 1 years 12.6% B 10 years 11.2% C 6 months 13.0 % D 20 years 11.0% E 5 year 11.4% a. Draw the yield curve associated with these data. b. Describe the resulting yield curve in part a, and explain what it says about the direction of future interest rates under the expectations theory.
Assume that over the past 88 years, U.S. Treasury bills had an average return of 3.5% as compared to 6.1% on long-term government bonds. What was the average risk premium on the long-term government bonds?
Treasury notes and bonds. Use the information in the following table: . What is the price in dollars of the February 2001 Treasury note with semiannual payment if its par value is $100,000? What is the current yield of this note? Treasury note is a U.S. government bond with a maturity of between two and ten years. Par value is the principal amount to be repaid at the maturity of the bond. Current yield is the annual bond coupon payment divided by the current price.
assume that the following data on U.S. Treasury securities is current: Years to maturity Yield to maturity 1 0.800% 2 0.910% 3 1.300% 4 1.350% 5 1.800% 7 2.100% 10 2.800% 20 4.200% According to the term structure, what would you have to pay for a $1000, zero-coupon, Treasury bond that…
