The yield on two-year government bonds is 4.5%, and one-year government bonds provide a yield of 3%. In addition, the real risk-free interest rate (r*) is 1%, and the maturity risk premium is 0.
1) According to the theory of expectation, what is the rate of return on annual government bonds from now to later? Calculate the rate of return using the geometric mean.
2) What are the expected inflation rates for the first and second years respectively?
The rate of inflation for the next 12 months (Year 1) is expected to be 1.4 percent; it is expected to be 1.8 percent the following year (Year 2); and it is expected to be 2.0 percent every year after Year 2. Assume the real risk-free, r*, is 3 percent for all maturities. What should be the yield to maturity on risk-free bonds that mature in (a) one year, (b) five years, and (c) 10 years.
Treasury securities that mature in 6 years currently have an interest rate of 7.75 percent. Inflation is expected to be 5 percent in each of the next three years and 6 percent each year thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.10% × (t – 1), where t is equal to the maturity of the bond (i.e., the maturity risk premium of a one-year bond is zero). The real risk-free rate is assumed to be constant over time. What is the real risk-free rate of interest?

- The real risk-free rate of interest, r*, is 4 percent, and it is expected to remain constant over time. Inflation is expected to be 2 percent per year for the next three years, after which time inflation is expected to remain at a constant rate of 5 percent per year. The maturity risk premium is equal to 0.1(t - 1)%, where t = the bond’s maturity. What is the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond?arrow_forwardThe real risk-free rate of interest, k* is 3 percent. Inflation is expected to be 4 percent this year, 5 percent next year, and 3 percent per year thereafter. The maturity risk premium equals 0.1% (t - 1), where t equals the bond's maturity.
