Answer:

1.55%

Explanation:

Computation of current rate to be on 2-year Treasury securities

Current rate (2) = ((1 + Current rate(1)) * (1+After a year rate(1))^(1/2) - 1

= ((1+1.45%)*(1+1/65%))^(1/2) - 1

= ((1+0.0145)*(1+0.0165))^(1/2) - 1

= ((1.0145)*(1.0165))^(1/2) - 1

= 1.03123925^(1/2) - 1

= 1.01549950763 - 1

= 0.01549950763

= 1.549951

= 1.55%

Thus, the current rate on 2-year treasury will be 1.55%
