Answer:

E(5r5) = 0.06

Explanation:

The expected rate <u><em>(which is the the projected return on a monetary investment)</em></u> on the treasury bonds at 4.05% can be calculated as seen below:

Rate on 5-year Treasury Bonds, E(r5) = 2.20%

Rate on 10-year Treasury Bonds, E(r10) = 4.05%

(1 + E(r5))^5 * (1 + E(5r5))^5 = (1 + E(r10))^10

1.0220^5 * (1 + E(5r5))^5 = 1.0405^10

1.11495 * (1 + E(5r5))^5 = 1.48738

(1 + E(5r5))^5 = 1.33403

1 + E(5r5) = 1.05933

E(5r5) = 0.05933

E(5r5) = 0.06

Answer:

current floating exchange rate

Explanation:

Exchange rate is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged with another. For example, 1 United States Dollar is equivalent to 4.24 Poland Zloty as of March 2020.

There are two common types of exchange rates:

1. Floating exchange rate: This is set by the FOREX market, and is based on the current supply and demand of currencies. When demand for a currency is high, its value increases and vice versa.

2. Fixed exchange rate: A fixed or pegged exchange rate is whereby a government entirely determines the rate and value of the currency.

Generally, a floating exchange rate system is used in the global market. This does not mean countries allow their currencies to fluctuate endlessly. The central bank of a country and it's government does intervene and manipulate the currency to make it favorable for them during international trade but it is done in a more indirect manner as opposed to a fixed exchange rate system.
