Answer:
forward rates are determined by investors' expectations of future interest rates.
Explanation:
The expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates states that forward rates are determined by investors' expectations of future interest rates. It suggests that the predicted holding period rate of return of a bond of "x" number of time is equal to the short-term interest rate irrespective of its maturity.
The Expectations theory gives us the opportunity to predict the future outcome of short-term interest rates based on current long-term interest rates.

Answer:
$710.84 million
Explanation:
Net income = $35 million
Depreciation = $20 million
Capital expenditures = $7 million
Tax rate = 21%
D/E ratio = 0.4
Growth rate = 6%
Equity beta = 1.25
So, firm's asset beta = Equity beta/(1 + D/E*(1-T))
= 1.25/(1 + 0.4*(1-0.21))
= 0.94985
So, Free Cash Flow to the Firm= NI + Depreciation - Capital expenditures
= 35 + 20 - 7
= $48 million
Risk free rate Rf = 5%
Market risk premium = 7.5%
So, firm cost of capital using CAPM is Rf + Beta*(MRP)
Kc = 5 + 0.94985*7.5
Kc = 12.1239
So, Firms value using constant dividend growth model:
FV = FCF*(1+g)/(Kc-g)
FV = 48*1.06 / 0.121239-0.06
FV = 50.88 / 0.061239
FV = 830.8430901876255
FV = $830.84 million
Debt = $120 million
Market Value of equity = FV - Debt
Market Value of equity = $830.84 million - $120 million
Market Value of equity = $710.84 million
