3A) Interest rates on 4-year Treasury securities are currently 5.8%, while 6-year Treasury securities yield 7.65%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what does the market believe that 2-year securities will be yielding 4 years from now? Calculate the yield using a geometric average. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
