1. Suppose that the current i on 1-year bonds is 4% and the expected interest rate on all one- year bonds to be issued in the next five years is also 4%. Suppose that the illiquidity premium is:

ln,t = (0.1)(n-1) (%)
What will the interest rates on 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year bonds be, based on the liquidity-premium theory?
• Draw the yield curve for these set of bonds.

This problem should be solved using the DrRacket software in Racket/Scheme language.

Write a function (merge-sorter L1) that takes list-of-integers L1 and returns all elements of L1 in sorted order. You must use a merge-sort technique that, in the recursive case, a) splits L1 into two approximately-equal-length lists, b) sorts those lists, and then c) merges the lists to obtain the result. See the following examples for clarificaton.

(merge-sorter '(3 1 5 4 2) ---> (1 2 3 4 5)
(merge-sorter '()) ---> ()
(merge-sorter '(1)) ---> (1)
