Computation of risk premium on bonds
1) If 10-year T-bonds have a yield of 5.2%, 10-year corporate bonds yield 7.5%, the maturity risk premium on all 10-year bonds is 1.1%, and corporate bonds have a 0.2% liquidity premium versus a zero liquidity premium for T-bonds, what is the default risk premium on the corporate bond?
a. 1.00%
b. 1.10%
c. 1.20%
d. 1.30%
e. 1.40%
2) Keys Corporation's 5-year bonds yield 6.50%, and 5-year T-bonds yield 4.40%. The real risk-free rate is r* = 2.5%, the default risk premium for Keys' bonds is DRP = 0.50% versus zero for T-bonds, the liquidity premium on Keys' bonds is LP = 1.7%, and the maturity risk premium for all bonds is found with the formula MRP = (t? 1)*0.1%, where t = number of years to maturity. What is the inflation premium (LP) on 5-year bonds?
a. 1.50%
b. 1.60%
c. 1.70%
d. 1.80%
e. 1.90%
