Assuming that interest rates remain constant for the next 10 years, which of the following statements is CORRECT? State your reason for the answer. Bond 8’s current yield will increase each year.

Over the next year, Bond 8’s price is expected to decrease, Bond 10’s price is expected to stay the same, and Bond 12’s price is expected to increase.

Suppose the yield on a 10-year T-bond is currently 5.05% and that on a 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) is 1.80%. Suppose further that the MRP on a 10-year T-bond is 0.90%, that no MRP is required on a TIPS, and that no liquidity premium is required on any T-bond. Given this information, what is the expected rate of inflation over the next 10 years? Disregard cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average.
Consider a zero coupon bond that promises to pay $100 each year for the next three years. Suppose we observe the set of zero coupon bond prices and its yields as below a) What is the price of this zero coupon bond? What is its yield to maturity? b) If the observe yield on two-year zero coupon bonds falls to 6% per year, but the other rates remain unchanged. What is your estimation of the value of the three-year annuity paying $100 per year? What is its yield to maturity?
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?
Suppose that the yield curve shows that the one-year bond yield is 8 percent, the two-year yield is 7 percent, and the three-year yield is 7 percent. Assume that the risk premium on the one-year bond is zero, the risk premium on the two-year bond is 1 percent, and the risk premium on the three-year bond is 2 percent. a. What are the expected one-year interest rates next year and the following year? The expected one-year interest rate next year = The expected one-year interest rate the following year b. If the risk premiums were all zero, as in the expectations hypothesis, what would the slope of the yield curve be? The slope of the yield curve would be (Click to select) % %
Assume that the Pure Expectations Theory of the term structure is correct. Also assume that the interest rate today on a 9-year security is 6.40%, while the interest rate today on a 15-year security is 8.00%. Finally assume that the interest rate on a 3-year security to be bought at Year 9 and held over Years 10, 11, and 12 is 6.80%. Given this information, determine the average annual return that investors today must expect that they will receive from investing in a 3-year security in 12 Years (that is, buying the security at Year 12 and holding it over Years 13, 14, and 15).

Assume that the real risk-free rate of return, k*, is 3%, and it will remain at that level far into the future. Also assume that maturity risk premiums (MRP) increase from zero for bonds that mature in one year or less to a maximum of 1%, and MRP increases by 0.2% for each year to maturity that is greater than one year-that is, MRP equals 0.2% for two-year bond, 0.4% for a three-year bond, and so forth. Following are the expected inflation rates for the next five years: Year Inflation Rate (%) 2017 5 2018 6 2019 7 2020 8 2021 9 a) Compute the interest rate for a one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-year bond. b) If inflation is expected to equal 9% every year after 2021, what should be the interest rate for a 10- and 20-year bond? c) Plot the yield curve for the interest rates you computed in part [a] and [b]. d) Based on the curve (in part c), interpret your findings.
A fixed income analyst has made the following assessments: The risk-free rate is expected to remain at 2.5% for the next 10 year. Inflation is expected to be 3% this year, 4% next year and 5% a year thereafter. The maturity risk-premium is 0.1% (t-1), where t= maturity of the bond. A 5-year corporate bond currently yield 8.5 percent. What will be the yield on the bond one year from now, if the above assessments are correct, and the bond's default premium and liquidity premium remain unchanged?
Suppose most investors expect the inflation rate to be 5% next year, 6% the following year, and 7% thereafter. The real risk-free rate is 3.5%. The maturity risk premium is zero for bonds that mature in 1 year or less, 0.3% for 2-year bonds, and then the MRP increases by 0.3% per year thereafter for 20 years, after which it is stable.

A 5-year Treasury bond has a 4.15% yield. A 10-year Treasury bond yields 6%, and a 10-year corporate bond yields 8.6%. The market expects that inflation will average 1.95% over the next 10 years (IP10 = 1.95%). Assume that there is no maturity risk premium (MRP = 0) and that the annual real risk-free rate, r*, will remain constant over the next 10 years.
