A corporation’s 10-year bonds are currently yielding a return of 6.05 percent. The expected inflation premium is 1.00 percent annually and the real risk-free rate is expected to be 2.10 percent annually over the next ten years. The liquidity risk premium on the bonds is 0.25 percent. The maturity risk premium is 0.10 percent on 2-year securities and increases by 0.05 percent for each additional year to maturity. Calculate the default risk premium on the 10-year bonds. How would an increase in liquidity affect the nominal interest rate?

Suppose Home Depot issues 30-year bonds on which it pays a 4.00% (nominal) interest rate. Further, suppose that both Home Depot and the purchasers of its bonds anticipate inflation will average 2.00% during the life of the loan. Now suppose the inflation rate after the loan is made (i.e. after the bond is purchased) is actually 1.00% per annum. It follows that the actual real rate of interest is and, ceteris paribus, are (is) better off than anticipated as a result of the difference between the anticipated and the actual rate of inflation.

A company's 5-year bonds are yielding 10% per year. Treasury bonds with the same maturity are yielding 5.8% per year, and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.85%.

Suppose that General Motors Acceptance Corporation issued a bond with 10 years until maturity, a face value of $1,000, and a coupon rate of 7.1% (annual payments). The yield to maturity on this bond when it was issued was 5.8%. Assuming the yield to maturity remains constant, what is the price of the bond immediately after it makes its first coupon payment? After the first coupon payment, the price of the bond will be $ (Round to the nearest cent.)
