Assume that there are no liquidity premiums.
To the nearest basis point, what is the expected interest rate on a four-year maturity AA zero coupon bond purchased six years from today?
Computation of the expected interest rate on four year maturity six year from now:-
Expected interest rate = ((1+Rate in year 10)^n/(1+Rate in year 6)^n)^(1/n)-1
= ((1+9.47%)^10/(1+8.85%)^6)^(1/4)-1
= 1.4859^(1/4)-1
= 1.1041 - 1
= 10.41%
