Excel Online Structured Activity: Interest rate premiums A 5-year Treasury bond has a 4.9% yield. A 10 -year Treasury bond yields 6.25%, and a 10 -year corporate bond yields 8.45%. The market expects that inflation will average 2.25% over the next 10 years (IP 10=2.25%). Assume that there is no maturity risk premium (MRP=0) and that the annual real risk-free rate, r, will remain constant over the next 10 years. (Hint: Remember that the default risk premium and the liquidity premium are zero for Treasury securities: DRP=LP=0.) A 5-year corporate bond has the same default risk premium and liquidity premium as the 10-year corporate bond described. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below.
