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:

1 R 1  = 6%, E( 2 r 1 ) = 7%, E( 3 r 1 ) = 7.5%, E( 4 r 1 ) = 7.85%

Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and fouryear-

maturity Treasury securities. Plot the resulting yield curve. (LG 2-7)
