Term Structure of Interest Rates (CDs)

Yield (%)

Time (years)

Exercises: 1. Given the listed interest rates (compounded daily) verify the corresponding annual yield for a term of 24 months. 2. Suppose that you invest $25,000 for a 3-year term and receive all interest at maturity. After three years, how much will your initial investment be worth? 3. You have $15,000 available to invest. You do not expect to need access to these funds for 5 years. You decide to invest for two years now and, after the two years, you intend to then invest for three more years. What must the 3-year rate (stated as an annual yield) be in two years time for your investment to have more value after five years than just committing to a five year term now? 4. A home equity loan rate is advertised to be 6% APR. This advertised rate is an annual rate compounded monthly. What is the annual yield for this rate? Suppose you borrow $100,000 at this rate for a term of 10 years. What will your monthly payments be?
