Determinants of Interest Rates Suppose you and most other investors expect the inflation rate to be 7% next year, to fall to 5% during the following year, and then to remain at a rate of 3% thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate, r*, will remain at 2% and that maturity risk premiums on Treasury securities rise from zero on very short-term securities (those that mature in a few days) to a level of 0.2 percentage points for 1-year securities. Furthermore, maturity risk premiums increase 0.2 percentage points for each year to maturity, up to a limit of 1.0 percentage point on 5-year or longer-term T-notes and T-bonds. a.

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion to all parts The real risk-free rate, r*, is 2%, and inflation is expected to be 3.0% this year, 3.5% for the next two years; 4.0% the following year, and then 5.0% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.05%(t1), where t = number of years to maturity. Liquidity risk premium is 0.7%, default risk premium is 1%. - What are the Treasury yield for 3 years, and 6 years bonds? - What are the Corporate yield for 3 years, and 6 years bonds?

I need help with this question

The real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.8% and is expected to remain constant. Inflation is expected to be 4% per year for each of the next two years and 3% thereafter. The maturity risk premium (MRP) is determined from the formula: 0.1(t – 1)%, where t is the security’s maturity. The liquidity premium (LP) on all Smith and Carter Inc.’s bonds is 0.55%. The following table shows the current relationship between bond ratings and default risk premiums (DRP): Rating Default Risk Premium U.S. Treasury — AAA 0.60% AA 0.80% A 1.05% BBB 1.45%   Smith and Carter Inc. issues 10-year, AA-rated bonds. What is the yield on one of these bonds? Disregard cross-product terms; that is, if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average. 7.35%   7.70%   8.25%   5.05%     Based on your understanding of the determinants of interest rates, if everything else remains the same, which of the following will be true? The yield on a AAA-rated bond will be higher…
