Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.2%, the average future inflation rate is 1.9%, and a maturity premium of 0.05% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.05% (t), where t is the years to maturity. What rate of return would you expect on a 5-year Treasury security, assuming the pure expectations theory is NOT valid? O 6.25% O 6.55% O 5.65% O 5.95% O 5.35%
Inflation is expected to be 2% this year, 3% next year, and 4% thereafter. Liquidity premium and real risk-free rate are 2% and 1%, respectively. Determine the Default risk premium.
The real risk-free rate is 2% which is projected to be constant indefinitely. The expected inflation for year 1 is 1%, for year 2 is 2%, and it will increase by 1% each year after. Liquidity Premium is 1% and the default risk premium is 2.5%. Maturity Risk premium for long-term securities is computed as estimated to be 0.5%(t - 1), where the variable “t” is an independent variable that shows the years of maturity of the bond. How much is the difference between the nominal rate of a 7-year long-term government issued bond and 7-year long-term corporate issued bond? a. 3.5% b. 1.5% c. 3.3% d. 5.5%
Assume that the real risk-free rate of return, k*, is 3%, and it will remain at that level far into the future. Also assume that maturity risk premiums (MRP) increase from zero for bonds that mature in one year or less to a maximum of 1%, and MRP increases by 0.2% for each year to maturity that is greater than one year-that is, MRP equals 0.2% for two-year bond, 0.4% for a three-year bond, and so forth. Following are the expected inflation rates for the next five years: Year Inflation Rate (%) 2017 5 2018 6 2019 7 2020 8 2021 9 a) Compute the interest rate for a one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-year bond. b) If inflation is expected to equal 9% every year after 2021, what should be the interest rate for a 10- and 20-year bond? c) Plot the yield curve for the interest rates you computed in part [a] and [b]. d) Based on the curve (in part c), interpret your findings.
Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.00%, the average expected future inflation rate is 4.00%, and a maturity risk premium of 0.10% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.10%(t), where t is the years to maturity. What rate of return would you expect on a 1-year Treasury security, assuming the pure expectations theory is NOT valid? Include the cross-product term, i.e., if averaging is required, use the geometric average. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Suppose we observe the following rates: 1R1= 0.75%, 1R2=1.20%, E(2r1)=0.907%. If the liquidity premium theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the liquidity premium for year 2, L2?
