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 a one-year bond purchased today will have the same return as a one-year bond purchased five years from now. False True The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.2300%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 6.3450% 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 10.7987% O 8.5029% 9.6933% O 7.2275% Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 4.2300% and 6.3450% 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 9.1125% O 10.1516% O 7.9934% 0 6.7944% 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.)
