Answer:
6.8%
Explanation:
Formula: r = r* + IP + MRP + DRP + LP.
Therefore:
r = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium + Default risk premium + Liquidity premium
r* = 0.03
IP= 0.03+0.04=0.07
0.07+5×0.035=0.245
0.245/7=0.035
The maturity risk premium was provided in the problem as:
0.05 x (t – 1)%
MRP = 0.05(7-1)%
= 0.05(6%) = 0.0030
DRP = 0
LP = 0
Addition of all will be:
rt7 = 0.03 + 0.035 + 0.0030 = 0.068 = 6.8%
The yield on a 7-year Treasury note is 6.8%
