UNDER EXPECTATION THEORY OF INTEREST RATES. If this year a 1-year bond has a return of 5%, and people believe next year a one-year bond will have return of 4%, and the year after people believe a 1- year bond will have a return of 3%. What should interest rates on a 3-year bond be today?
If the 3-year bond rate is 7% what is the liquidity premium?
interest rates on a 3-year bond be today = (5% + 4% + 3%) / 3 = 12%/3 = 4%
If the 3-year bond rate is 7%, the liquidity premium = 7%-4% = 3%

Question 5 (0.9 points) Situation 6-2 The current 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year bond interest rates are 4%, 5%, and 6%, respectively. The 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year term premia are estimated to be 0, 1, and 2 percent, respectively. Using the information in Situation 6-2, the expectations theory of the term structure predicts that the expected 1-year bond interest rate is % two years from now. Question 6 (0.9 points) Over the next three years, the expected path of 1-year interest...
Based on expectation theory, if the interest rate for a 3-year bond is 8% and the interest rate on a 1-year bond right now is 9%, a one year bond a year from now is 9%, what is the expected one year bond interest rate 2-years from now?
