Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate on a 1-year bond, now = 6%

Expected rate on a 1-year bond, one year from now = 7%

Expected rate on a 1-year bond, two years from now = 8%

Maturity risk premium = 0

Therefore, the interest rate today on a 3-year bond should be approximately:

= (Rate on a 1 year bond, now + Rate on a 1 year bond, one year from now + Rate on a 1 year bond, two years from now) ÷ Number of years

= (6% + 7% + 8%) ÷ 3

= 21% ÷ 3

= 7%
