6. Pure expectations theory

The pure expectations theory, or the expectations hypothesis, asserts that long-term interest rates can be used to estimate future short-term interest rates.

The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.9200%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 6.6420% yield. Assuming that the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the markets estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

9.5672%

10.6582%

7.1335%

8.3923%

Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 4.9200% and 6.6420% on a two-year Treasury security. Suppose the one-year security does not have a maturity risk premium, but the two-year security does and it is 0.2%. What is the markets estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

10.1423%

9.1042%

Suppose the yield on a two-year Treasury security is 5.83%, and the yield on a five-year Treasury security is 6.20%. Assuming that the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the markets estimate of the three-year Treasury rate two years from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
