Assume that the real, risk-free rate of interest is expected to be constant over time at 3 percent, and that the annual yield on a 6-year corporate bond is 8.00 percent, while the annual yield on a 10-year corporate bond is 7.75 percent: you may assume that the default risk and liquidity premium are the same for both bonds. Also assume that the maturity risk premium for all securities can be estimated as MRP, (0.1%) *(t-1), where t is the number of periods until maturity. Finally assume that inflation is expected to be constant at 3 percent for Years 1-6, and then constant at some rate for Years 7-10 (4 years). Given this information, determine what the market must anticipate the average annual rate of inflation will be for Years 7-10. 2.583% O 1979% 2.281% 1.375 % O 1.677 % 4

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?
Assume that the real risk free rate is 3% and the average annual expected inflation rate is 5%. The DRP and LP for Bond A are each 1% and the applicable MRP is 2%. What is bond A’s interest rate?
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? Here we assume that the pure expectations theory is NOT valid, and disregard any cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average. a. 4.25 p.p. b. 2.25 p.p. c. 4.19 p.p. d. 3.00 p.p. e. 1.75 p.p.

Treasury securities that mature in 6 years currently have an interest rate of 7.75 percent. Inflation is expected to be 5 percent in each of the next three years and 6 percent each year thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.10% × (t – 1), where t is equal to the maturity of the bond (i.e., the maturity risk premium of a one-year bond is zero). The real risk-free rate is assumed to be constant over time. What is the real risk-free rate of interest? Group of answer choices 3.00% 1.75% 1.00% 2.50%
