One-year Treasury bills currently earn 2.80 percent. You expect that one year from now, 1-year Treasury bill rates will increase to 3.00 percent and that two years from now, 1-year Treasury bill rates will increase to 3.50 percent. The liquidity premium on 2-year securities is 0.10 percent and on 3-year securities is 0.20 percent. If the liquidity premium theory is correct, what should the current rate be on 3-year Treasury securities? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
