Assume that the real risk-free rate, k*, is 3 percent and that inflation is expected to be 8 Treasury bonds are highly liquid and free of default risk. If 2-year and 5-year Treasury bonds both yield 10 percent, what is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPS) on the two bonds; that is, what is MRP5 minus MRP2?Calculating the risk premium on bonds The text presents a formula where (1+1) = (1-p)(1 +i+x) + p(0) where i is the nominal interest rate on a riskless bond x is the risk premium p is the probability of default (bankruptcy) If the probability of bankruptcy is zero, the rate of interest on the risky bond is When the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is 8% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 3%, the probability of bankruptcy is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 6% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 11% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) The formula assumes that payment upon default is zero. In fact, it is often positive. How would you change the formula in this case?…
- 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?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?
