Some characteristics of the determinants of nominal interest rates are listed as follows. Identify the components (determinants) and the symbols associated with each characteristic: Characteristic This is the premium added to the real risk-free rate to compensate for a decrease in purchasing power over time. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Because interest rate changes are uncertain, this premium is added as a compensation for this uncertainty. This is the rate for a short-term riskless security when inflation is expected to be zero. It is calculated by adding the inflation premium to r*. This is the premium added as a compensation for the risk that an investor will not get paid in full. It is based on the bond's marketability and trading frequency; the less frequently the security is traded, the higher the premium added, thus increasing the interest rate.

Some characteristics of the determinants of nominal interest rates are listed as follows. Identify the components (determinants) and the symbols associated with each characteristic: Characteristic Component Symbol This is the premium added to the real risk-free rate to compensate for a decrease in purchasing power over time. It is based on the bond’s rating; the higher the rating, the lower the premium added, thus lowering the interest rate. It is calculated by adding the inflation premium to r*. It changes over time, depending on the expected rate of return on productive assets exchanged among market participants and people’s time preferences for consumption. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Because interest rate changes are uncertain, this premium is added as a compensation for this uncertainty. This premium is added when a security lacks marketability,…
