Group of answer choices 2.73% 3.05% 3.22% 3.50% 2.84%
Liquidity risk premium (LP) 0.40%
Corporate bond yield (CY) 10.10%
Treasury bond yield (TY) 6.20%
Deafult risk premium (CY-TY) - LP
Deafult risk premium (10.10%-6.20%)-0.40%
Deafult risk premium (3.90%-0.40%)
Deafult risk premium 3.50%
Thus, default risk premium on corporate bond is 3.50%
