Problem:
Little Monsters Inc, borrowed $1,000,000 for two years from NorthernBank Inc, at an 11.5% interest rate. The current risk free rate is 2% and Little Monsters financial condition warrants a default risk premium of 3% and a liquidity risk premium of 2%. The maturity risk premium for a two year loan is 1%, and inflation is expected to be 3% next year. What does this information imply about the rate of inflation in the second year?
