Q.1(a) Suppose investors prefer one-year bonds to two-year bonds and will
purchase a two-year bond only if they expect to receive an additional 2% over
the returns from holding one-year bonds. Currently, one-year bonds yield 6%,
but investors expect the yield to fall to 2% next year.
(i) Which of the three models of term structure is relevant in this case?
(ii) What is the yield on a two-year bond?
(iii) Is the yield curve flat, downward sloping or upward sloping? Explain.
(b) Write a short note on the NPA problem in the Indian Banking System?
