Based on Pure Expectations Theory,
(1 + 3 Yr Rate)3 = (1 + 2 Yr Rate)2 * (1 + 1 Yr Rate 2 Yr from now)
(1 + 5%)3 = (1 + 4.5%)2 * (1 + 1 Yr Rate 2 Yr from now)
(1 + 1 Yr Rate 2 Yr from now) = 1.157625/1.092025
(1 + 1 Yr Rate 2 Yr from now) = 1.060072
1 Yr Rate 2 Yr from now = 6.00%

Suppose that the interest rate on one-year bonds is currently 4.5 percent and is expected to be 5 percent in one year and 2 percent in two years. Using the expectations hypothesis, compute the yield curve for the next three years.
If the current one year interest rate is 3.5% and next year’s one year rate is 5.5%, what is the current two year rate? If the current three year interest rate is 7%, what is the current one year interest rate? Assume next year’s one year rate is 5.5% and the one year rate two years from now is 7.25%. Find the one year interest rate for four years from now. Assume the five year interest rate is 5.5%, the...
