  1. It is now date zero. Currently the yield on a one-year bond is 10%, on a two-year bond is 15%, and on a three-year bond is 17%. Furthermore, everyone expects inflation to run at 5% this year, 10% next year and at 15% the year after that. Assuming that the pure expectations model correctly describes the behavior of the term structure, calculate the market’s expectation of the following:

a. The nominal interest rate on a one-year bond originating date 1 and maturing date 2. (The one-year rate next year.)

b. The real interest rate on a one-year bond originating date 1 and maturing date 2. (The one-year real rate next year.)

c. The real interest rate on a one-year bond originating date 2 and maturing date 3. (The one-year real rate two years from now.)

3. Suppose the situation is as described in question 2. However, you are firmly convinced that next year’s one-year nominal interest rate will be 12% rather than the answer you found to 2.a. a. Describe the steps you would take today to put yourself in a position to profit if your belief is correct.

b. If next year it turns out you are right and the one-year interest rate is indeed 12%, describe the steps you would take at that time and demonstrate that a profit results.

Comparing Three Depreciation Methods

Waylander Coatings Company purchased waterproofing equipment on January 6 for $637,400. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of four years, or 6,800 operating hours, and a residual value of $52,600. The equipment was used for 2,600 hours during Year 1, 2,100 hours in Year 2, 1,200 hours in Year 3, and 900 hours in Year 4.

Required:

1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the four years by each method.

Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.
