The current rates on Treasury securities are as follows: 1R1 = 4.33%, 1R2 = 5.25%, 1R3 = 5.55%, and 1R4 = 6.01%. If the unbiased expectations theory holds, If you held a 4-year Treasury until maturity, what is the total return you will earn over the 4 year period?
Total return = (1 + .0433) * ( 1 + .0525) * (1+ .0555) * (1 + .0601) - 1
= .2287
= 22.87%
total return you will earn over the 4 year period = 22.87%

On May 23, 20XX, the existing or current (spot) one-year, two-year, three-year, and four-year zero-coupon Treasury security rates were as follows: 1R1 = 4.55 percent,1R2 = 4.75 percent,1R3 = 5.25 percent,1R4 = 5.95 percent Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the one-year forward rates on zero-coupon Treasury bonds for years two, three, and four as of May 23, 20XX.
On March 11, the existing or current (spot) 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year zero-coupon Treasury security rates were as follows: 1R1 = 0.65%, 1R2 = 1.25%, 1R3 = 1.65%,1R4 = 1.80% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the 1-year forward rates on zero-coupon Treasury bonds for years 2, 3, and 4 as of March 11.

Assume the current interest rate on a one-year Treasury bond (1R1) is 2.17 percent, the current rate on a two-year Treasury bond (1R2) is 2.33 percent, and the current rate on a three-year Treasury bond (1R3) is 2.44 percent. If the unbiased expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates is correct, what is the one-year interest rate expected on T-bills during year 3 (E(3r1) or 3f1)?
Suppose we observe the following rates: 1R1 = 4.5%, 1R2 = 6.8%. If the unbiased expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the one-year interest rate expected one year from now, E(2r1)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
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.)
Suppose we observe the following rates: 1R1 = 5.1%, 1R2 = 7.3%. If the unbiased expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the one-year interest rate expected one year from now, E(2r1)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Suppose we observe the following rates: 1R1 = 5.4%, 1R2 = 7.9%. If the unbiased expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the one-year interest rate expected one year from now, E(2r1)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) Expected one-year interest rate = ? % Confused on how to do this problem... Thanks in advance for the help!
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.)
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: 1R1 = 3.18%, E(2r1) = 4.60%, E(3r1) = 5.10%, E(4r1) = 6.60% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities.

Unbiased Expectations Theory Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 1R1=6.95%, E(2r1) =7.45%, E(3r1) =8.45% E(4r1)=8.95% Using the unbiased expectations theory, what is the current (long-term) rate for four-year-maturity Treasury securities?
