Consider two securities, both of them are dependent on the interest rate. Suppose security A has an expected return of 4% per annum and a volatility of 10% per annum, while security B has a volatility of 20% per annum. Suppose the riskless interest rate is 7% per annum. Find the market price of interest rate risk and the expected returns from security B per annum. Give a financial argument why the market price of the interest rate risk is usually negative.
