You can invest either in a security that pays interest of 4% per year for the next 2 years OR in a security that matures in 1 year but pays only 3% interest. If you make the latter choice, you would then reinvest your savings at the end of the first year for another year. What 1 year interest rate are you expecting for the next year if you choose the latter (3%) option. Which theory of term structure have you supported in your answer? You can submit an excel OR a photo of your calculations OR type the numerical support in the box below. If you submit an excel file, please indicate which tab I should consider for this exercise.
