14TH EDITION of Financlal Management r Contents h. Suppose you observe the following term structure for Treasury securities: Maturity Yield 1 year 2 years62 3 years64 4 years65 5 years65 60% Assume that the pure expectations theory of the term structure is correct. (This implies that you can use the yield curve provided to "back out" the market's expectations about future interest rates.) What does the market expect will be the interest rate on 1-year securities 1 year from now? What does the market expect will be the interest rate on 3-year securities 2 years from now? Calculate these yields using geometric averages i. Describe how macroeconomic factors affect the level of interest rates. How do these factors explain why interest rates have been lower in recent years
