Excel Online Structured Activity: Interest rate premiums

A $5-$year Treasury bond has a $4\mathrm{.}8\%$ yield. A $10-$year Treasury bond yields $6\mathrm{.}45\%,$ and a $10-$year corporate bond yields $8\mathrm{.}65\%.$ The market expects that inflation will average $2\mathrm{.}1\%$

over the next $10$ years $(I{P}_{10}=2\mathrm{.}1\%).$ 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 $=0.)5-$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. Open the spreadsheet and perform the
