The Z Corporation issues a 10%, 20-year bond at a time when yields are 10%. The bond has a call provision that allows the corporation to force a bond holder to redeem his or her bond at face value plus 5%. After 5 years the corporation finds that the exercise of this call provision is advantageous. What can you deduce about the yield at that time? (Assume one coupon payment per year)

Both the U.S. Treasury Department and the Japanese Government borrow in the currency they print. Why is the case that only the U.S. Treasuries are considered as the risk-free assets?
