Suppose the interest rate on a 1-year T-bond is 5.00% and that on a 2-year T-bond is 6.80%. Assume that the pure expectations theory is NOT valid, and the MRP is zero for a 1-year T-bond but 0.40% for a 2-year bond. What is the yield on a 1-year T-bond expected to be one year from now? Round the intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.

a. 8.52

b. 7.82

c. 6.57

d. 5.86

e. 7.43
