The three-period binomial interest rate tree provided below gives one-period interest rates and prices of zero-coupon bonds. Starting at t = 0, you are provided with the one-period interest rate and prices of zero-coupon bonds with maturities of one period, two periods, three periods, and four periods. At t=1, you are provided with the one-period interest rate and prices of zero-coupon bonds with maturities of one period, two periods, and three periods. At t=2, you are provided with the one-period interest rate and prices of zero-coupon bonds with maturities of one period and two periods. At t=3, you are provided with the one-period interest rate and prices of zero-coupon bonds with maturity of one period.
