1.The yield of a one-year bond this year equals to 6.5%, and people expect the yield of a one-year bond to remain the same on the second year but fall to 5% on the third year. Also, people also require a 0.25% term premium for each additional year of bond maturity.

a.Calculate the yield of a two-year bond and a three-year bond according to the theory of liquidity premium. Compare the yields of the three-year bond, two-year bond, and one-year bond, what does it tell you about the shape of the yield curve? (10 points)

b.Calculate the yield of a two-year bond and a three-year bond according to the expectations theory. Compare the yields of the three-year bond, two-year bond, and one-year bond, what does it tell you about the shape of the yield curve? (10 points)

Label and place your final answer for A-F at the top of the answer box. Then after the answer to F, label and show your work for each part of the question. Just show me numbers – that is usually enough for me to follow your logic.

Derive the probability distribution of the 1-year HPR on a 30-year U.S. Treasury bond with an 4.0% coupon if it is currently selling at par and the probability distribution of its yield to maturity a year from now is as follows: (Assume the entire 4.0% coupon is paid at the end of the year rather than every 6 months. Assume a par value of $100.) (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" & "%" signs in your response.)

Please fill in the rest.

. Suppose that an investor with a five-year investment horizon is considering purchasing a seven-year 9% coupon bond selling at par. The investor expects that he can reinvest the coupon payments at an annual interest rate of 9.4% and that at the end of the investment horizon two-year bonds will be selling to offer a yield to maturity of 11.2%. What is the five-year total return for this bond?

Skysong, Inc. began the year with retained earnings of $308000. During the year, the company issued $417000 of common stock, recorded expenses of $1193000, and paid dividends of $80400. If Skysong ending retained earnings was $328000, what was the company’s revenue for the year? $1293400 $1213000 $1630000 $1710400

Micky earns $200 this year and will earn $210 next year. The interest rate is 5 percent (r=0.05), whether Micky borrows or saves.

1. Draw his intertemporal budget constraint. Calculate and show on your diagram the horizontal intercept and the vertical intercept.
2. Suppose Micky saves $100 this year so that he can consume more next year. Show his consumption choice on your diagram. How much does he consume this year and next?
3. Now suppose the government introduces a 40 percent tax on investment income, but allows any interest payments to be tax deductible (even interest payments on consumer debt). Show the effect of taxing investment income on Micky’s budget constraint.
4. Now try to draw a more realistic scenario: if Micky borrows money on his credit card, he pays an interest rate of 20 percent, and interest payments are not tax deductible. Micky pays no tax on his interest income for the first $40 he saves. Only for savings above $40 does he start to pay tax at 40 percent. Show his new budget constraint.

On the first day of the fiscal year, a company issues a $8,400,000, 12%, 10-year bond that pays semiannual interest of $504,000 ($8,400,000 × 12% × ½), receiving cash of $7,115,493. Journalize the first interest payment and the amortization of the related bond discount. Round to the nearest dollar. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

Curtis and Kathy filed a joint return for Year One on April 15, Year Two. The return claimed bogus deductions related to Curtis’s cattle-raising business. After their divorce in Year Three, the Internal Revenue Service discovered the bogus deductions and issued a notice of deficiency to both Curtis and Kathy.

While they were married, Kathy often visited Curtis’s farmland and on occasion helped out with some chores related to the business. Kathy collected all of Curtis’s receipts and sent them to their accountant to prepare their tax returns. Kathy saw that the receipts for Year One were unusually large, but she did not question Curtis with respect to any of the receipts. Kathy had no other involvement in Curtis’s business.

If Kathy files a request for innocent spouse relief under § 6015, how should the Service respond?
