This lecture covers the valuation of bonds with different maturities and the calculation of spot rates based on market prices. The instructor explains how to determine spot rates for different time periods by analyzing the cash flows of bonds and applying financial formulas. Through examples and calculations, the lecture demonstrates how market prices reflect investors' required returns and how spot rates can be used to evaluate investment opportunities over multiple years.
