Calculate the security’s default risk premium.

The real risk-free rate is 3 percent. Inflation is expected to average 2 percent a year for the next 3 years, after which the inflation is expected to average 3.5 percent a year. Assume that there is no maturity risk premium. A 7-year corporate bond has a yield of 7.6 percent. Assume that the liquidity premium on the corporate bond is 0.4 percent. What is the default risk premium on the corporate bond?

An investor has two alternatives: AAA-rated corporate bond or Turkish Government Treasury bond. But the investor is not sure what rate of interest these two bonds should pay. Assume that the real risk-free rate of interest is 1.5%; inflation is expected to be 2.5%; the maturity risk premium is 3.5%; and, the default risk premium for AAA rated corporate bonds is 5.5%.   a) What is the "Rate of interest for the AAA-rated corporate bond" ?   b) What is the "Rate of interest for the Turkish Government Treasury bond"?

A particular security's default risk premium is 4 percent. For all securities, the inflation risk premium is 3.65 percent and the real risk- free rate is 2.50 percent. The security's liquidity risk premium is 0.35 percent and maturity risk premium is 0.95 percent. The security has no special covenants. Calculate the security's equilibrium rate of return. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) > Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Rate of return 8.65%

For a one year holding period bond with no coupon payments, the interest rate is the same as the YTM which is the same as the return rate- true or false

Which of the following statements is the most accurate? 43. a. Long-term cash flows are riskier than short-term cash flows.Furthermore, a 20-year bond that is callable after 5 years would have a shorter projected duration, if not none at all, than a noncallable 20-year bond with equal maturity. As a result, if all other features are equal, investors can demand a lower rate of return on the callable bond than on the noncallable bond. b. A noncallable 20-year bond would have an average life that is equivalent to or better than a callable 20-year bond with otherwise similar characteristics. Furthermore, the longer a bond's lifespan, the higher the interest rate danger it poses to buyers. As a result, while all other factors remain stable, callable bonds subject borrowers to fewer interest rate risk than noncallable bonds. c. Both a and b are right statements. d. None of the above claims are true.

Short Corp just issued bonds that will mature in 10 years, and Long Corp issued bonds that will mature in 20 years. Both bonds promise to pay a semiannual coupon, they are not callable or convertible, and they are equally liquid. Further assume that the Treasury yield curve is based only on the pure expectations theory. Under these conditions, which of the following statements is CORRECT? O a. If Long's and Short's bonds have the same default risk, their yields must under all conditions be equal. O b. If the Treasury yield curve is upward sloping and short has less default risk than Long, then Short's bonds must under all conditions have a lower yield than Long's bonds. O c. If the yield curve for Treasury securities is flat, Short's bond must under all conditions have the same yield as Long's bonds. O d. If the yield curve for Treasury securities is upward sloping, Long's bonds must under all conditions have a higher yield than Short's bonds. O e. If the Treasury yield curve is…
