Yield for one-year bond = 3.5%
Yield for two-year bond = (3.5% + 4%)/2 = 3.75%
Yield for three-year bond = (3.5% + 4% + 6%)/3 = 4.50%

You have $1,000 to invest over an investment horizon of three years. The bond market offers various options. You can buy (i) a sequence of three one-year bonds; (ii) a three-year bond; or (iii) a two-year bond followed by a one-year bond. The current yield curve tells you that the one-year, two-year, and three-year yields to maturity are 5.2 percent, 4 percent, and 5.2 percent respectively. You expect that one-year interest rates will be 4 percent next year and 5...
