Assume also that all Treasury securities are highly liquid and free of default risk. If 2-year and 5-year Treasury notes both yield 11%, what is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPs) on the two notes; that is, what is MRP5 minus MRP2?

Assume also that allTreasury securities are highly liquid and free of default risk. If 2-year and5-year Treasury notes both yield 10%, what is the difference in the maturityrisk premiums (MRPs) on the two notes; that is, what is MRP5minus MRP2?Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2% and the average annual expected inflation rate is 4%. The DRP and LP for Bond A are each 2%, and the applicable MRP is 3%. 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?

- 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.An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 2.1%in Year 1, 2.7% in Year 2, and 3.65% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rateis 1.95% 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 riskpremiums (MRPs) on the two securities; that is, what is MRP5 - MRP3?Suppose the real risk - free rate is 3.50 %, the average future inflation rate is 2.50%, a maturity premium of 0.20% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.20% (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 2.70% 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?

- Suppose the real risk-free rate is 2.5%, the average future inflation rate is 2.3%, a maturity premium of 0.07% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.07% (t), where t is the years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 1% and a default risk premium of 0.7% applies to A-rated corporate bonds. How much higher would the rate of return be on a 7-year A-rated corporate bond than on a 5-year Treasury bond. Here we assume that the pure expectations theory is NOT valid.

- 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?Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2% and that the maturityrisk premium is zero. If a 1-year Treasury bond yield is 5% and a 2-year Treasury bondyields 7%, what is the 1-year interest rate that is expected for Year 2? Calculate this yieldusing a geometric average. What inflation rate is expected during Year 2? Comment onwhy the average interest rate during the 2-year period differs from the 1-year interestrate expected for Year 2.Assume the following: The real risk-free rate, r*, is expected to remain constant at 3%. Inflation is expected to be 3% next year and then to be constant at 2% a year thereafter. The maturity risk premium is zero. Given this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. A 5-year corporate bond must have a lower yield than a 7-year Treasury security. b. The yield curve for U.S. Treasury securities will be upward sloping. c. A 5-year corporate bond must have a lower yield than a 5-year Treasury security. d. The real risk-free rate cannot be constant if inflation is not expected to remain constant. e. This problem assumed a zero maturity risk premium, but that is probably not valid in the real world.
