5. Pure expectations theory The pure expectations theory, or the expectations hypothesis, asserts that long-term interest rates can be used to estimate future short-term interest rates Based on the pure expectations theory, is the following statement true or false? The pure expectations theory assumes that investors do not consider long-term bonds to be riskier than short-term bonds. True False The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.0000%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 5.4000% yield. Assuming that the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.) O 6.8188% O 8.65999 7.7734% 5.796% Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 4.0000% and 5.4000% on a two-year Treasury security. Suppose the one-year security does not have a maturity risk premium, but the two-year security does and it is 0.5%. What is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.) 7.3759% 6.6209% 4.9366% 5.8078% Suppose the yield on a two-year Treasury security is 5.83%, and the yield on a five-year Treasury security is 6.20%. Assuming that the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the market's estimate of the three-year Treasury rate two years from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
