Given a 1 year corporate bond issued at par, with a 0.75% probability of default and 25% recovery rate, what is the credit spread for the risky bond if an identical duration sovereign bond has a 5% yield?
Calaculation of Credit spread for Corporate bond:
Given:
Recovery rate = 25% = 0.25
Probability of default = 0.75% = 0.0075
Credit Spread
= (1 - Revovery rate) × Default probability
= (1 - 0.25) × 0.0075
= 0.75 × 0.0075
= 0.005625
= 0.5625%
