(Interest rate determination) You've just taken a job at an investment banking firm and been given the job of calculating the appropriate nominal interest rate for a number of different Treasury bonds with different maturity dates. The real risk-free interest rate that you have been told to use is 3.5%, and this rate is expected to continue on into the future without any change. Inflation is expected to be constant over the future at a rate of 1.7%. Since these are bonds that are issued by the U.S. Treasury, they do not have any default risk or any liquidity risk (that is, there is no liquidity-risk premium). The maturity-risk premium is dependent upon how many years the bond has to maturity. The maturity-risk premiums are shown in the popup window: . Given this information, what should the nominal rate of interest on Treasury bonds maturing in 0-1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, and 3-4 years be? The nominal rate of interest on Treasury bonds maturing in 0-1 year should be %. (Round to two decimal places.)
