Suppose that the interest rate on one-year bonds is currently 5.5 percent and is expected to be 5 percent in one year and 7 percent in two years. Using the Expectations Hypothesis, compute the yield curve for the next three years. Round you answers to the nearest hundredth (2 decimal places).
Yield for one-year bond
Yield for two-year bond
Yield for three-year bond
Yield for one-year bond = 5.5%
Yield for two-year bond = (5.5% + 5%) / 2 = 5.25%
Yield for three-year bond = (5.5% + 5% + 7%) / 3 = 5.83%

Currently, the term structure is as follows: One-year bonds yield 7.25%, two-year bonds yield 8.25%, three- year bonds and greater maturity bonds all yield 9.25% You are choosing between one- two-, and three- year maturity bonds all paying annual coupons of 8 25%, once a year. You strongly believe that at year-end the yield curve will be flat at 9.25% a. Calculate the one year total rate of return for the three bonds (Do not round Intermediate calculations. Round your...
