Question: You are given the following information: Current interest rate on a 4 year T-bond ( 1 R 4 ) = 5.0% Expected interest rate on

You are given the following information:

Current interest rate on a 4 year T-bond (1R4) = 5.0%

Expected interest rate on a 1 year T-bond 1 year from today (2f1) = 2.0 %

Expected interest rate on a 1 year T-bond 2 years from today (3f1) = 3.25%

Expected interest rate on a 1 year T-bond 3 years from today (4f1) = 4.00%

Required liquidity risk premia for a:

1-year bond (l1) = 0% 2-year bond (l2) = 0.10% 3-year bond (l3) = 0.25% 4-year bond (l4) = 0.30%

If the Liquidity Premium Theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the current 2-year rate (1R2)? (Use geometric average.)

Please show all work. I'm genuinely confused on how to start this one.
