From discussions with your broker, you have determined that expected inflation premium is 2.90 percent next year, 3.15 percent in Year 2, and 3.35 percent in Year 3 and beyond. Further, you expect that real interest rates will be 3.70 percent annually for the foreseeable future. What is the maturity risk premium on the 6-year Treasury security?

Treasury notes and bonds. Use the information in the following table: . What is the price in dollars of the February 2001 Treasury note with semiannual payment if its par value is $100,000? What is the current yield of this note? Treasury note is a U.S. government bond with a maturity of between two and ten years. Par value is the principal amount to be repaid at the maturity of the bond. Current yield is the annual bond coupon payment divided by the current price.
You find the following Treasury bond quotes. To calculate the number of years until maturity, assume that it is currently May 2022. All of the bonds have a par value of $1,000 and pay semiannual coupons. Rate 22 6.052 6.143 Maturity Month/Year May 32 May 37.

LOW4486452: The coupon rate is 3.1%, the last trade price is $111.33, and the Maturity date is 05/03/2027 Using the bond LOW4486452, assume that the price does not include accrued interest. Calculate the market price of that bond in dollars and calculate the accrued interest. You will assume that today is the 1st of November. Also, assume that the bond pays interest on the month that the bond matures and 6 months after. Also, assume that the interest is paid on the first of the month no matter the maturity date. For example, suppose a bond matures on 4/8/2042. You will assume that interest is paid on 4/1 and 10/1 Making these assumptions, how much accrued interest would you pay the owner if you bought the bond? What would the total amount be that you paid for the bond?

An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 2.1% in Year 1, 3.0% in Year 2, and 4.25% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2.25% and that this rate will remain constant. Three-year Treasury securities yield 5.20%, while 5-year Treasury securities yield 6.00%. What is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPs) on the two securities; that is, what is MRP5 - MRP3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
