(Face value: F = $100) 1-year zero coupon bond: [answer1] 2.5-year zero coupon bond: [answer2] (b) Suppose you consider buying 2.5-year zero coupon bond today. What is the expected 1-year holding period returns (HPR, annual compounding frequency) for this bond, if you believe that the expectation hypothesis would hold? [answer3] (c) Suppose you have purchased 2.5-year zero coupon bond on May 15, 2017. One year later (on May 15, 2018), you observe that the term structure of interests actually stays exactly the same as in 2017. What is the realized one-year holding period returns (HPR) for the bond?

Is there an arbitrage opportunity? If there is, how would you take advantage of it? Describe the exact transactions that you need to make in order to obtain an arbitrage profit. First, assume that all zero-coupon bonds are traded at their fair values. Second, assume that you would like to generate positive cash-flows today and no other cash flows in the future. (Step 1) You [answer6] $100 million dollars at the bank's quoted forward rate (3.80%) (Step 2) You [answer7] 1-million units of 1-year zero-coupon bonds. (Step 3) You [answer8] [answer10]-million units of 2.5-year zero-coupon bonds. (f) With increasing term structure of interest rates, do you think Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) of 5-year 4% coupon bond should be higher than that of 3-year 4% coupon bond? [answer9]
