Terry Austin is 30 years old and is saving for her retirement.  She is planning  on making 23 contributions to her retirement account at the beginning of  each of the next 23 years.  The first contribution will be made today  (t = 0) and the final contribution will be made 22 years from today (t = 22). The retirement account will earn a return of 12.8 percent a year.  If each  contribution she makes is $3,472.00 how much will be in the retirement account 22 years from now (t = 22)?

The real risk-free rate of interest is 1 percent.  Inflation is expected to be 5 percent this  coming year, jump to 6 percent next year, and increase to 7 percent the year after (Year 3).   According to the expectations theory, what should be the interest rate on 2-year, risk-free  securities today?

Keys Corporation’s 5-year bonds yield 5.1%, and 5-year T-bonds yield 3.7%. The real risk-free rate is r* =  1.5%, the inflation premium  for 5 years bonds is  IP = 1.8%, the default risk premium for Keys’ bonds is DRP = 0.33% versus  zero for T-bonds, and the maturity risk premium for all bonds is found with  the formula  MRP =  (t – 1)*0.1%, where t = number of years to maturity.  What  is the liquidity premium (LP) on Keys’ bonds?

Drongo Corporation’s 4-year bonds currently yield 6.3 percent and have an inflation premium  of 3.5%.  The real risk-free rate of interest, r*, is 1 percent and is assumed to be constant.   The maturity risk premium (MRP) is estimated to be 0.1%(t – 1), where t is equal to the time to  maturity.  The default risk and liquidity premiums for this company’s bonds total 1.5 percent and are believed to be the same for all bonds issued by this company.  If the average inflation  rate is expected to be 1.4 percent for years 5, 6, and 7, what is the yield on a 6-year bond for  Drongo Corporation?

One-year government bonds yield 5.7 percent and 2-year government bonds yield 5.8 percent.  Assume that the expectations theory holds.  What does the market believe the rate on 1-year government bonds will be one year from today?

The Howe family recently bought a house.  The house has a 30-year,  $225,425.00 mortgage with monthly payments and a nominal interest rate of 4 percent.  What is the total dollar amount of interest the family will pay  during the first 2 years of their mortgage?  (Assume that all  payments are made at the end of the month.)

Terry Austin is 30 years old and is saving for her retirement.  She is planning  on making 36 contributions to her retirement account at the beginning of  each of the next 36 years.  The first contribution will be made today  (t = 0) and the final contribution will be made 35 years from today (t = 35). The retirement account will earn a return of 5.7 percent a year.  If each  contribution she makes is $1,572.00 how much will be in the retirement account 35 years from now (t = 35)?
