securities on the market. As an investor looking for protection against inflation, you are considering the purchase of inflation-adjusted bonds known as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With these securities, the face value (which is paid at maturity) is regularly adjusted to account for inflation; however, the semiannual interest payment (called the bond dividend) remains the same. You purchased a 10-year $10,000 TIPS bond with dividend of 4% per year payable semiannually (i.e., $200 every 6 months). Assume there is no inflation adjustment for the first 5 years, but in years 6 through 10, the bond face value increases by $1200 each year. You use an expected investment return of 14.5% per year compounded semiannually. What will be the equivalent future worth of the total money received with dividend reinvestment included?

You have £2,000 and you can only choose one of the following two investments. First, you may deposit the sum of £2000 at an interest rate of 7% for one year. There is 60% probability that inflation will run at 5% for the next year and a 40% probability that inflation will run at 2%. The second investment allows you to deposit a fixed sum of only £1500 at a certain inflation adjusted (real) return of 8% for one year, but you must keep the rest of your money in a cash account. Which of the two schemes would you take?
Ophelia has income of M₁ 100 in period 1 and M₂ 20 in period 2. If she chooses to, she = can either save or borrow at an interest rate of i 0.05 (so an interest rate of 5% per period). The rate of price inflation between periods is π = 0 (so a 0% inflation rate) and price of a unit of consumption in each period is normalized to 1 (so P₁ = P2 = 1). = O - Suppose that Ophelia's utility function over intertemporal consumption bundles is U (C₁, C₂) = ln c₁ + ln c₂. (Notice that this utility function implies that: (i) Ophelia has diminishing marginal utility of consumption in each period and (ii) Ophelia does not discount the future at all relative to the present.) Which of the following statements accurately describes the composition of Ophelia's optimal intertemporal consumption bundle? Ophelia consumes in both periods, but consumes slightly more in period 1 than in period 2. Ophelia consumes in both periods, but consumes slightly more in period 2 than in period 1. Ophelia shifts all of…
The real risk-free rate is 2%, and inflation is expected to be 3% this year, 4% in year 2, 5% in year 3 and then 3.5% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.50x(t-1), where t=number of years to maturity. What is the nominal interest rate on a 15-year Treasury security?
An investor is considering purchasing a machine. The machine will produce $5,200 for 10 years, and requires a yearly maintenance of $200 (depreciation). The interest is expected to be consistent at 10%. At the end of the 10th year, the machine will become obsolete and worthless. a) What is the maximum value that the investor should spend on the machine? b) Now assume that in the 5th year the Fed decided to reduce the interest rate considerably and the investor decides to borrow more in order to buy more machines. Graph the ISLM model for the case where the investor expects the rate to continue being low in the future. Explain the shocks and the new equilibrium outcome.
Ophelia has income of M₁ 100 in period 1 and M₂ 20 in period 2. If she chooses to, she can either save or borrow at an interest rate of i = 0.05 (so an interest rate of 5% per period). The rate of price inflation between periods is π = 0 (so a 0% inflation rate) and price of a unit of consumption in each period is normalized to 1 (so p₁ = P2 = = = : 1). Suppose that Ophelia's utility function over intertemporal consumption bundles is U (C₁, C₂) = ln c₁ + In c₂. (Notice that this utility function implies that: (i) Ophelia has diminishing marginal utility of consumption in each period and (ii) Ophelia does not discount the future at all relative to the present.) Which of the following statements accurately describes Ophelia's saving/borrowing decision in the first period? It cannot be determined whether Ophelia saves or borrows in the first period. Ophelia borrows in the first period. Ophelia neither saves nor borrows in the first period. Ophelia saves in the first period.
Suppose you purchase a $1,500 TIPS on January 1, 2020. The bond carries a fixed coupon rate of 5.5 percent. Over the first two years, semiannual inflation is 1.5 percent, 1.5 percent, 4 percent, and 3 percent, respectively. What is the principal at the end of month 6?
If the face value of a 91-day Treasury Bill is £100000 and it is issued at a discount of £500, what is the annual interest rate (yield) that the purchaser receives (expressed as a percentage to 2 decimal places)?

Suppose Neha is a sports fan and buys only baseball caps. Neha deposits $3,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%. Assume this interest rate is fixed—that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a baseball cap is priced at $10.00. Fill in the chart: 0% 5% 8% Number of Caps Neha Can Purchase after One Year Choices: 291, 305, 315, 582 Choices: 291, 300, 305, 582 Choices: 291, 305, 315, 582 Real Interest Rate When the rate of inflation is less than the interest rate on Neha's deposit, the purchasing power of her deposit __________ (options: falls, rises, remains the same) over the course of the year.
Let's say we expect the inflation rate to be 7 percent in a year, 5 percent in two years and 3 percent thereafter. The real risk-free interest rate, r*, is constant at 2%, and the maturity risk premium on government bonds begins at zero on ultra-short-term bonds (with a maturity of several days) and rises to 0.2% on bonds with a one-year maturity. The maturity risk premium increases by 0.2% for each one-year increase in maturity, and the five-year maturity and higher maturity of government bonds are constant at the upper limit of 1.0%. 1) Calculate the interest rates of one year, two years, three years, four years, five years, ten years and twenty years of government bonds.

Starting in 2009, the interest rates on Greek government bonds rose to over 20%. What was the most important factor in the increase in long-term rates in this time period?

The real risk-free rate is 4%. Inflation is expected to be 3% this year, 4% next year, and then 3% thereafter.
