If you have 1-year rate is 8%, 2-year rate is 9%, and 3-year rate is 10%. Assume that the pure expectations theory for the term structure of interest rates holds, no liquidity or maturity premium exists. What is implied 1 year rate 2 year from now? a. 9%
b. 10%
c. 11%
d. 12%

1 year rate 2 year from now = 12%  (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

1-year rate = 8%

2-year rate = 9%

3-year rate = 10%

Computation:

According to Pure Expectations Hypothesis,

(1 + 3-year rate)³ = (1 + 2-year rate)² (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)

(1.10)³ = (1 + 1.09)²(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)

1.331 = 1.1881 (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)

(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)  = 1.12

1 year rate 2 year from now = 0.12

1 year rate 2 year from now = 12%  (Approx)

the "study of metals and the process of refining ("

note that it says metal. metallurgy has the word "metal" in it, and so is most likely your answer (and is your answer).
