Determinants of Interest Rates
Suppose you and most other investors expect the inflation rate to be 8% next year, to fall to 4% during the following year, and then to remain at a rate of 3% thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate, r*, will remain at 2% and that maturity risk premiums on Treasury securities rise from zero on very short-term securities (those that mature in a few days) to a level of 0.2 percentage points for 1-year securities. Furthermore, maturity risk premiums increase 0.2 percentage points for each year to maturity, up to a limit of 1.0 percentage point on 5-year or longer-term T-notes and T-bonds.
Question 1: Calculate the interest rate on 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 10-, and 20-year Treasury securities. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Question 2: Now suppose ExxonMobil's bonds, rated AAA, have the same maturities as the Treasury bonds. Select the correct graph for the yield curve for the Treasury securities, the approximate ExxonMobil yield curve, and the approximate yield curve of Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO), a risky nuclear utility. (Hint: Think about the default risk premium on ExxonMobil's long-term versus its short-term bonds.)
