6. 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? A certificate of deposit (CD) for two years will have the same yield as a CD for one year followed by an investment in another one-year CD after one year. O True O False The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 5.3800%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 6.4560% 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 7.543% O 8.599% O 6.4116% O 9.5796% Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 5.3800% and 6.4560% 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 0.25%. What is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.) O 7.0384% O 8.9388% O 5.9826% 08.0238% 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?
