A 5-year Treasury bond has a 5.2% yield. A 10-year Treasurybond yields 6.4%, and a 10-year corporate bond yields 8.4%. The market expects that inflationwill average 2.5% over the next 10 years (IP10 = 2.5%). Assume that there is no maturityrisk premium (MRP= 0) and that the annual real risk-free rate, r*, will remain constantover the next 10 years. (Hint: Remember that the default risk premium and the liquiditypremium are zero for Treasury securities: DRP = LP = 0.) A 5-year corporate bond has thesame default risk premium and liquidity premium as the 10-year corporate bond described.What is the yield on this 5-year corporate bond?

Treasury Market

On-the-run securities are the most recently issued securities in the market depth and are therefore traded at some premium. The off-the-run securities are the ones issued just before the most recent ones. The on-the-run securities have a lower yield to the investor than the off-the-run securities.
