Based on economistsAc€?c forecasts and analysis, 1-year Treasury
bill rates and liquidity premiums for the next four years are
expected to be as follows:
R1
=
.90%
E(2r1)
=
2.05%
L2
=
0.09%
E(3r1)
=
2.15%
L3
=
0.12%
E(4r1)
=
2.45%
L4
=
0.14%
Using the liquidity premium theory, plot the current yield
curve. Make sure you label the axes on the graph and identify the
four annual rates on the curve both on the axes and on the yield
curve itself. (Do not round intermediate calculations.
Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
