Extracted text: 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? A certificate of deposit (CD) for two years will have the same yield as a CD for one year followed by an investment in another one-year CD after one year True False The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 5.6100%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 8.4200% 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? 14.3637% 9.6135% 11.3100% 12.8934% Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 5.6100% and 8.4200% 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 0.2000%. What is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? 12.4260% 10.9000% 9,2650% 13.8430% 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? 6.61% 6.45% 6.69% 7.10%
