4) The current annualized yield on a 2-year STRIPS is 0.13% and the annualized yield on a 3-year STRIPS is 0.15% (WSJ for week ended 7/31/2020). According to the expectations theory of interest rates, what will be the annualized yield on a 1-year STRIPS two years from now? What would you expect to pay for this STRIPS with a $1,000 face value two year from now?

5. Suppose you have a 3.25% coupon bond with a ytmof 1.50 percent and a term-to-maturity of 3 years. The bond pays its coupon ANNUALLY(once per year) and has a face value of $1,000. What is this bond’s price? What is its duration?

2. Suppose that the annual interest rate is 2.0 percent in the United States and 4 percent in Germany, and that the spot exchange rate is $1.60/€ and the forward exchange rate, with one-year maturity, is $1.58/€. Assume that an arbitrager can borrow up to $1,000,000 or €625,000

a. Determine whether the interest rate parity is currently holding.

b. If the IRP is not holding, how would you carry out covered interest arbitrage? Show all the steps and determine the arbitrage profit.

A. $238.65 B. $14,000 C. $46,207 D. $7,000

Circle the correct answer above and provide the workings to the answer above here:

c. Explain how the IRP will be restored as a result of covered arbitrage activities.

Consider the function

f(x) = x 4 − 4x 2 . Determine the following:

• The (x,y) coordinate pairs of the local minima and local maxima.

• The (x,y) coordinate pair of the absolute minimum and absolute maximum, should they exist. If the absolute min/max is obtained at multiple points, list all of them. • The intervals of increasing and decreasing.

• The intervals of concavity. That is, explain exactly where this function is convex and exactly where this function is concave.

• The (x,y) coordinate pair of the inflection points.

• The horizontal and vertical asymptotes, should they exist.

• The (x,y) coordinate pair of the roots.
