    0.60%

    Explanation:

    The computation of the current rate for a two year treasury security is shown below:

    = (1 + current one year t-bill rate) * (1 + expected one year rate) ^1 : 2 - 1

    = (1 + 0.40%) * (1 + 0.80%) ^1 : 2 - 1

    = (1.004 * 1.008) ^1 : 2 - 1

    = 1.012032 ^1 : 2 - 1

    = 1.0059980119 - 1

    = 0.60%
