Suppose we observe the 3-year Treasury security rate (1R3) to be 6 percent, the expected 1-year rate next year—E(2r1)—to be 4 percent, and the expected 1-year rate the following year—E(3r1)—to be 5 percent. If the unbiased expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the 1-year Treasury security rate, 1R1? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

We observe the following rates. The current one-year Treasury rate is 5.28% and the two-year rate is 7.37%. We believe the one year rate one year from today (E(1r2)) is 6.34%. What is the liquidity premium for year 2 (from t=1 to t=2). Enter in percent form without the percent sign.

PART B: Application 5. Suppose that you observe a random variable X. and then, on the basis of the observed value. you attempt to predict the value of a second random variable Y. Let Y denote the predictor or an estimator of Y ; that is, if X is observed to equal , then Y is your prediction for the value of Y, and your goal is to choose Y so that it tends to be close to Y First,...
Suppose we observe the following rates: 1R1 = 9%, 1R2 = 11%. If the unbiased expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the 1-year interest rate expected one year from now, E(2r1)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
