Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year t-bill rates over the following three years (i. e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 1 r 1 = 5 percent, e( 2 r 1) = 6 percent, e( 3 r 1) = 7.5 percent e( 4 r 1) = 6.85 percent using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity treasury securities. 5.00 percent, 5.25 percent, 6.10 percent, 6.27 percent 5.00 percent, 5.25 percent, 6.16 percent, 6.49 percent 5.00 percent, 5.50 percent, 6.10 percent, 6.23 percent 5.00 percent, 5.50 percent, 6.16 percent, 6.33 percent
