Suppose the real risk-free rate is 2.5%, the average future inflation rate is 2.3%, a maturity premium of 0.07% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.07% (t), where t is the years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 1% and a default risk premium of 0.7% applies to A-rated corporate bonds. How much higher would the rate of return be on a 7-year A-rated corporate bond than on a 5-year Treasury bond. Here we assume that the pure expectations theory is NOT valid.

Suppose the real risk-free rate is 2.80%, the average future inflation rate is 2.30%, a maturity premium of 0.25% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.25%(t), where t is the number of years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 0.50% and a default risk premium of 2.50% applies to A-rated corporate bonds. What is the difference in the yields on a 5-year A-rated corporate bond and on a 10-year Treasury bond?

If the real rate of interest is 2%, inflation is expected to be 3% during the coming year, and the default risk premium, illiquidity risk premium, and maturity risk premium for the Bonds-R-Us Corporation are all 1% each, what would be the yield (stated rate) on a Bonds-R-Us bond?

Suppose 1-year Treasury bonds yield 3.10% while 2-year T-bonds yield 4.80%. Assuming the pure expectations theory is correct, and thus the maturity risk premium for T-bonds is zero, what is the yield on a 1-year T-bond expected to be one year from now?
b. Suppose you are considering two possible investment opportunities: a 12-year Treasury bond and a 7-year, A-rated corporate bond. The current real risk-free rate is 5%, and inflation is expected to be 2% for the next 2 years, 3% for the following 4 years, and 4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated by this formula: MRP Io.01(t-1)%. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimated to be 0.2%. You may determine the default risk premium (DRP), given the company's bond rating, from the following table. Remember to subtract the bond's LP from the corporate spread given in the table to arrive at the bond's DRR U.S. Treasury AAA corporate AA corporate A corporate Rate 0.83% 0.93 1.27 1.71 Corporate Bond Yield Spread - DRP + LP What yield would you predict for each of these two investments?
