The real risk-free rate is 3.5% and inflation is expected to be 2.25% for the next 2 years. A 2-year Treasury security yields 6.95%.
What is the maturity risk premium for the 2-year security? Round your answer to one decimal place.
Maturity risk premium = Treasury security yield - Real risk-free rate - Inflation
Maturity risk premium = 6.95% - 3.5% - 2.25%
Maturity risk premium = 1.20%
