The interest rate on one-year Treasury bonds is 0.4 percent, the rate on two-year T-bonds is 0.8 percent, and the rate on three-year T-bonds is 1.1 percent. Using the expectations theory, compute the expected one-year interest rates in (a) the second year (Year 2 only) and (b) the third year (year 3 only).

What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond? What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and rd declined to 7%? Would we now have a premium or a discount bond? What would happen to the value of the 10-year bond over time if the required rate of return remained at 13%? If it remained at 7%? (Hint: With a financial calculator, enter PMT, I/YR, FV, and N, and then change N to see what happens to the PV as the bond approaches maturity.)
