What is the yield on 2-year Treasury securities? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
What is the yield on 3-year Treasury securities? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
2-Year Bond:
Inflation premium = (1.50% + 4.50%)/2 = 3.00%
Nominal yield = 2.75% + 3.00% = 5.75%
3-Year Bond:
Inflation premium = (1.50% + 4.50% + 4.50%)/3 = 3.50%
Nominal yield = 2.75% + 3.50% = 6.25%
