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? 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 4.4600%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 5.3520% 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.) 5.3139% 7.9395% 7.1268% 6.2516% Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 4.4600% and 5.3520% 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 0.45%. What is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.) 6.7893% 4.544% 6.0943% 5.3459% 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.) 5.46% O 7.10% 6.69% 6.45%
