Assuming the expectations theory is the correct theory of the term structure, calculate the interest rates in the term structure for maturities of one to four years, and plot the resulting yield curves for the following paths of one-year interest rates over the next four years: 3%, 5%, 13%, 15%
Suppose that the current one-year rate and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (vears 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 1R1 = 0.6%, E(21) = 1.1%, E(3r1) = 1.8%, E(4r1) = 2.7% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current rates for two-, three-, and four- year maturity Treasury securities.

a) Suppose that the current one-year spot rate and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, and 3 respectively) are as follows: 1R1 = 3.1%, E(201) = 4.20%, E(3r₁) = 6.6%. Using the unbiased expectation theory, calculate the current long-term rates for one- two and three-year-maturity Treasury securities and plot the current yield curve. Please show each step of your calculation. b) What are the sources of funding for commercial banks? Please also classify the sources of funding and briefly describe each category. c) The unbiased expectation theory and liquidity premium theory are two important theories to explain the shape of yield curve. Discuss and compare the two theories.
Using the Treasury yield information in part c, calculate the following rates using geometric averages (round your answers to three decimal places): The 1-year rate, 1 year from now The 5-year rate, 5 years from now The 10-year rate, 10 years from now The 10-year rate, 20 years from now
Construct a spreadsheet to convert a nominal interest rate compounded m times per year i(m) and convert it to an effective rate jn per 1/n of a year. On the same spreadsheet, also start with an effective rate jm per 1/m of a year and convert it to a nominal rate i(n) compounded n times per year. Use your spreadsheet to solve the following two problems: Given the nominal rate i(12) = 5.700%, find the equivalent effective semi-annual rate. Given the effective semi-annual rate j2 = 2.884%, find the equivalent nominal rate ¡(12).
