Expert Solution

Corporate bond rate = Risk free rate + liquidity premium + default risk premium

{There is no additional maturity risk premium in corporate bond since both the bonds have same maturity risk premium)

6.65% = 5.30% + 0.25% + default risk premium

Default risk premium = 1.10%

Therefore 3rd option is correct
