3 year rate one year from now = [(1.05)(1.0659)(1.068)(1.07)]/(1.05) - 1
3 year rate one year from now = 6.80%
Price of 3 year Zero Coupon Bond = 1,000/(1.068)3

Suppose the one year spot rate and two year spot rate are both 3%. a) What is the price of a two year ZCB? b) What is the price of a one year ZCB today? c) What do I expect the price of a one year ZCB to be, one year from now? Same 3 questions except now the one year spot rate is 3% and the 2 year spot rate is 4%. Same 3 questions except now the one...

Assume that, for each maturity, there is a zero-coupon bond
traded in the market. These zeros pay $1,000 at their respective
maturity.
a. Is the term structure positive, inverted, or flat?
b. What is the forward rate from t=1 to t=2?
c. Suppose that the investor is expecting to receive $1 million
at t=1. This...
(1.) Consider the following annualized spot yields: Maturity Annualized Spot Rate One Year 5.00% Two Years 5.50% Three Years 6.00% Four Years 6.00% Five Years ? (a.) Assuming the expectations theory of the term structure is correct, calculate the expected one-year interest rate one year from now (i.e. 1f2). (b.) Assuming the expectations theory of the term structure is correct, calculate the expected one-year interest rate three years from now (i.e. 3f4). (c.) Suppose a forecasting service predicts that th...

You are given the following benchmark spot rates: Maturity Spot Rate 1 2.90% 2 3.20% 3 3.60% 4 4.20% a) Compute the forward rate between years 1 and 2. b) Compute the forward rate between years 1 and 3. c) What is the zero price today of a five-year zero-coupon bond if the forward price for a one-year zero-coupon bond beginning in four years is known to be 0.9461 d) Calculate the price of a 4% annual coupon corporate bond...
2. You want to know what 2-year spot rates will be one year from now. According to the pure expecta- tions theory, this unknown forward rate of interest is implied by current spot rates. The simplest method of calculating this forward rate is to use today's 1-year and 3-year spot rates; i.e., the spot rates that take you out to the start of, and to the end of the forward period of time you are interested in. Thus: (1 +...
Suppose the yield curve has the one-year spot rate (r (1)) at 5% and two-year spot rate (r(2)) at 7%. Which bond has the lowest price? A - 1-year zero coupon bond with face value $100 B- 2-year zero coupon bond with face value of $100 C- 2-year zero coupon bond with 2% annual coupon and face value $100 D- 2-year coupon bond with 10% annual coupon and face value $50
