The real risk-free rate is 1.75%. Inflation is expected to be 2.75% this year, 4.45% next year, and 2.1% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.05 × (t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. What is the yield on a 7-year Treasury note? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
What is the yield on a 7-year Treasury note?
As per given data
Yield=Risk free rate+Inflation premium+maturity risk premium
1.Risk free rate=1.75%
2.Inflation premium=
1st year=2.75%
2nd year=4.45%
3rd year and till 7th year(5years)= 5* 2.1%=10.5%
Total=2.75%+4.45%+10.5%=17.7%
=17.7%/7=2.52857%
3. Maturity risk premium= 0.05 × (t - 1)%
=0.05*(7-1) %
=(0.05*6) %
=0.3 %
Therefore yield =1+2+3
1.75%+2.52857%+0.3%= 4.58% (round off to two decimal)
