Assume that the pure expectations theory of the term structure holds. Given the information below. you should be able to determine the annual interest rate (yield) that you should expect to observe on a 7-year security to be purchased in 6 years. Maturity Year 1 Year 3 Year 6 Year 11 Year 13 6.30% Year 18 6.00% Year 20 5.20% Rate 3.20% 4.15% 5.00% 5.40% Assume now that the 7-year security you plan to purchase in 6 years is a zero-coupon security that will mature for $5,000 at Year 13. Based on the expected yield for this security, determine how much you should pay for this security at Year 6. Enter in dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar, with no punctuation. For example, if your answer is $9.993.65, enter "9964". Assume that the pure expectations theory of the term structure holds.
