Suppose that the annual interest rate this year is 5%, and financial market participants expect the annual interest rate to increase to 5.5% next year, to 6% two years from now, and to 6.5% three years from now. Determine the yield to maturity on each of the following bonds. a) A one-year bond. b) A two-year bond. c) A three-year bond.
Macroeconomics
The present value of an infinite stream of dollar payments of $z (that starts next year) is $z>i when the nominal interest rate, i, is constant. This formul a gives the price of a consola bond paying a fixed nominal payment each year, forever. It is also a good approximation for the present discounted value of a stream of constant payments over long but not infinite periods, as long as i is constant. a) b) Suppose that i = 10%. Let $z = 100. What is the present value of the consol? If i = 10%, what is the expected present discounted value of a bond that pays $z over the years? 20 years? 30 years? 60 years? c) Repeat the calculations in (a) and (b) for i = 2% and i = 5%
