If 10-year T-bonds have a yield of 6 %, and the 10-year corporate bonds of Raytheonion Inc. yield 9 %, the maturity risk premium on all 10-year bonds is 1.52%, and corporate bonds have a 0.48 % liquidity premium versus a zero liquidity premium for T-bonds, what is the default risk premium on the corporate bond?
For a corporate security,
Based on the two formula,
Nominal yield on corporate bond = Nominal yield on Treasury bond + Liquidity Premium + Default risk premium
9% = 6% + 0.48% + Default risk premium
Default risk premium = 2.52%
