Qi Chi (15%) Go to the St. Louis Federal Reserve FRED database and find data on the three-month treasury bill rate (TB3MS), the three-month AA non-financial commercial paper rate (CPN3M), the 30-year treasury bond rate (GS30), the 30-year fixed rate mort- gage average (MORTGAGE30US), and the NBER recession indicators (USREC). For the mortgage rate indicator, set the frequency setting to 'monthly'. a. In general, how do these interest rates behave during expansionary periods? b. In general, how do the three-month interest rates compare to the 30-year rates? How do the Treasury rates compare to the respective commercial paper and mortgage rates? c. For the most recent available month of data, take the average of each of the three- month rates and compare it to the average of the three-month rates from January 2000. How do the averages compare? d. For the most recent available month of data, take the average of each of the 30-year rates and compare it to the average of the 30-year rates from January 2000.

Q4 Ch 2 (20%) Go to the St. Louis Federal Reserve FRED database, and find data on federal debt held by the Federal Reserve (FDHBFRBN), by private investors (FDHBPIN), and by international and foreign investors (FDHBFIN).

If you make one payment per year for four years, what will the yearly payment be? What is the total amount that will be paid out on the $20,000 loan?
