Answer: 6.6%
Explanation:
The Pure Expectations Theory believes that the future long term rate is a reflection of future short term rates.

= 2.5% + 4.1%
= 6.6%

$38,131.84
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Investment X
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $6900
I = 7%
PV = $44,955.10
Investment Y
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $9300
I = 7%
PV = $38,131.84
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
