Spot Interest Rates and Approximate Expected Inflation?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
Whoa! Good luck!

Consider the following spot interest rates for maturities of one, two, three, and four years.



r1 = 6.2% r2 = 6.7% r3 = 7.4% r4 = 8.2%



Assuming a constant real interest rate of 2 percent, what are the approximate expected inflation rates for the next four years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

I1 = %

I2 =

I3 =

I4 =

Your help would be greatly appreciated :)

Also if you like these for fun, I'm having trouble with the last two

Consider the following spot interest rates for maturities of one, two, three, and four years.



r1 = 5.5% r2 = 5.9% r3 = 6.6% r4 = 7.4%



What are the following forward rates, where f1, k refers to a forward rate for the period beginning in one year and extending for k years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)



f1,1 6.3%

f1,2 %

f1,3 %
