    In late 1980 the U S Commerce Department released new

    data
    In late 1980, the U.S. Commerce Department released new data showing inflation was 15%. At
    the time, the prime rate of interest was 21%, a record high. However, many investors expected
    the new Reagan administration to be more effective in controlling inflation than the Carter
    administration had been. Moreover, many observers believed that the extremely high interest
    rates and generally tight credit, which resulted from the Federal Reserve System’s attempts to
    curb the inflation rate, would lead to a recession, which, in turn, would lead to a decline in
    inflation and interest rates. Assume that at the beginning of 1981, the expected inflation rate for
    1981 was 13%; for 1982, 9%; for 1983, 7%; and for 1984 and thereafter, 6%.a. What was the
    average expected inflation rate over the 5-year period 1981 – 1985? (Use the arithmetic
    average.)b. Over the 5-year period, what average nominal interest rate would be expected to
    produce a 2% real risk-free return on 5-year Treasury securities? Assume MRP = 0.c. Assuming
    a real risk-free rate of 2% and a maturity risk premium that equals 0.1 $ (t)%, where t is the
    number of years to maturity, estimate the interest rate in January 1981 on bonds that mature in
    1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 years. Draw a yield curve based on these data.d. Describe the general
    economic conditions that could lead to an upward-sloping yield curve.e. If investors in early
    1981 expected the inflation rate for every future year to be 10% (that is, It = It#1 = 10% for t = 1
    to #), what would the yield curve have looked like? Consider all the factors that are likely to
    affect the curve. Does your answer here make you question the yield curve you drew in part
    c?View Solution:
