Suppose the real rate is 3.7 percent and the inflation rate is 5.3 percent. What rate would you expect to see on a Treasury bill? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Solutions

Expert Solution

(1 + Nominal rate of return) = (1 + Real rate of return)(1 + Inflation rate)

(1 + Nominal rate of return) = (1 + 0.037)(1 + 0.053)

Nominal rate of return = [(1 + 0.037)(1 + 0.053)] - 1

Nominal rate of return = 0.0920 or 9.20%

Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.00%, the average expected future inflation rate is 5.90%, and a maturity risk premium of 0.10% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.10%(t), where t is the number of years to maturity. What rate of return would you expect on a 1-year Treasury security, assuming the pure expectations theory is NOT valid? Disregard cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average.

Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.25%, the average future inflation rate is 4.35%, and a maturity risk premium of 0.07% per year to maturity applies to both corporate and T-bonds, i.e., MRP = 0.07%(t), where t is the number of years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 0.50% and a default risk premium of 0.90% apply to A-rated corporate bonds but not to T-bonds. How much higher would the rate of return be on a 10-year...
