1) A company's 5-year bonds are yielding 8.6% per year. Treasury bonds with the same maturity are yielding 7.25% per year, and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.85%. The average inflation premium is 4%, and the maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.1(t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. If the liquidity premium is 0.85%, what is the default risk premium on the corporate bonds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
2) The real risk-free rate is 2.25%. Inflation is expected to be 2.05% this year, 4.2% next year, and then 2.35% thereafter.
