A Treasury bond that matures in 10 years has a yield of 4.75%. A 10-year corporate bond has a yield of 7.00%. Assume that the liquidity premium on the corporate bond is 0.35%.
What is the default risk premium on the corporate bond? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Default risk premium = Corporate bond yield - Treasury bond yield - Liquidity premium
Default risk premium = 7.00% - 4.75% - 0.35%
Default risk premium = 1.90%
