Explanation:
The correct answer is D.
According to the Expectations Theory, the forward rates are unbiased predictors for making expectations of future spot rates. We can therefore forecast future interest rates by looking at the term structure of interest rates since the return on a long-term bond is in essence the average return on short-term bonds over the same period.
1` + r_3 = 1.1083r_3 = 10.83%$$
Note: We can as well simply find the average of the short-term rates:
Q.4822 The annual yield of a one-year government bond is 10% and the expected yield on a one-year bond starting one year from now is 11.0%. The expected yield on a one-year bond starting two years from now is 11.5%. According to the expectations hypothesis, what would be the annual yield of a three-year government bond?
A
36.14%
B
12.04%
C
11.04%
D
10.83%
