Assume that the real risk-free rate of return, r*, is 1%, and it
will remain at that level far into the future. Also assume that
maturity risk premium on Treasury bonds increase from zero for
bonds that mature in one year or less to a maximum of 2%, and MRP
increases by 0.2% for each year to maturity that is greater than
one year – that is, MRP equals 0.2% for two-year bond, 0.4% for a
three-year bond, and so...

your answer to one decimal place.
%
The real risk-free rate, r*, is 3.1%. Inflation is expected to
average 2.95% a year for the next 4 years, after which time
inflation is expected to average 3.5% a year. Assume that there is
no maturity risk premium. An 11-year corporate bond has a yield of
11.65%, which includes a liquidity premium of 0.9%. What is its
default risk premium? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round
your answer to two decimal places.

The real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.8% and is expected to remain
constant. Inflation is expected to be 4% per year for each of the
next three years and 3% thereafter.
The maturity risk premium (MRP) is determined from the formula:
0.1(t – 1)%, where t is the security’s maturity. The liquidity
premium (LP) on all Global Satellite Corp.’s bonds is 1.05%. The
