An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 1.8% in Year 1, 2.6% in Year 2, and 3.75% each year thereafter.

A bond has 10 years remaining to maturity, pays annual coupons (yesterday) of $6, and has a face value of $100. The current price of the bond is $125.591 and the price next year is expected to be $123.358. (Interest rates are not expected to change over the coming year.)

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 3%, 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 = 0.02(t - 1)%. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimated to be 0.3%. 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 DRP.
