3. Answer the following concept questions. Explain your answers briey. (a) Imagine that the yield curve is currently at. The Treasury announces that they will no longer issue securities with maturities longer than two years. As a result, long-term government bonds will be renanced using only relatively short-term debt. If the "market segmentation theory" of the yield curve is correct, what will happen to the slope of the yield curve as a result of this policy change? If the "preferred habitat" theory holds, what will happen? Explain briey. (b) True, False, or Uncertain and Explain. According to the "liquidity preference theory" of the yield curve, if the yield curve is at, rates investors expect to be available in the future are the same as current rates (c) Suppose that you want to invest $1,000 in a Treasury bond with 10 years to maturity. Two are available, one with a coupon rate of 6%, and the other with a coupon rate of 11%. If you expect to hold the bond until maturity, buying the 6% bond reduces the riskiness of your total return (relative to buying the 11% bond). (d) In a volatile interest rate environment, a barbell strategy can usually be expected to outperform a bullet strategy
