Suppose the term structure of interest rates has these spot interest rates: r1 = 6.5%. r2 = 6.3%, r3 = 6.1%, and r4 = 5.9%.
a. What will be the 1-year spot interest rate in three years if the expectations theory of term structure is correct? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)

Consider the following spot interest rates for maturities of one, two, three, and four years. r1 = 4.4% r2 = 4.9% r3 = 5.6% r4 = 6.4% Assuming a constant real interest rate of 2 percent, what are the approximate expected inflation rates for the next four years? (Do l1 ___ % l2 ___ l3 ___ l4____
The one-year, two-year, three-year, and four-year spot rates for the theoretical spot rate curve are 5.0%, 6.0%, 6.5%, and 7%, respectively. According the expectations theory for the term structure of interest rates, what is the expected 2-year interest rate 2 years from today? Assume annual compounding.

The one-year spot interest rate is r1 = 6.6% and the two-year rate is r2 = 7.6%. If the expectations theory is correct, what is the expected one-year interest rate in one year’s time?
The one-year spot interest rate is r1 = 6.0%, and the two-year rate is r2 = 7.0%. If the expectations theory is correct, what is the expected one-year interest rate in one year’s time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Expected interest rate %
According to the liquidity premium theory of interest rates, long-term spot rates are totally unrelated to expectations of future short-term rates. the term structure must always be upward sloping. investors prefer certain maturities and will not normally switch out of those maturities. long-term spot rates are higher than the average of current and expected future short-term rates. investors are indifferent between different maturities if the long-term spot rates are equal to the average of current and expected future short-term rates.
Suppose that the current 1-year rate (1-year spot rate) and expected 1-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 1 R1 = 6%, E1291) = 7%, 431) = 7.40%, E1491) = 7.75% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current long-term) rates for 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year-maturity Treasury securities.
