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? The pure expectations theory assumes that a one-year bond purchased today will have the same return as a one-year bond purchased five years from now. False True The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 5.3800%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 8.0700% 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? 9.2055% 12.3462% 13.7541% 10.8300% Recall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 5.3800% and 8.0700% 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 0.1500%. What is the market's estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? 8.9420% 11.9930% 13.3600% 10.5200% 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? 6.69% 5.46% 6.53% 6.45%
