The real risk-free rate is 3.0% and inflation is expected to be 3.25% for the next 2 years. A 2-year Treasury security yields 6.85%. What is the maturity risk premium for the 2-year security? Round your answer to one decimal place.
____ %
Real-Risk Free rate = 3%
Calculating the maturity risk premium for the 2-year security:-
rd = r* + IP + DRP + LP + MRP
rd = Required rate of 2-year Treasury security yields = 6.85%
r* = real risk free return = 3%
IP = Inflation Premium = 3.25%
MRP = Maturity Risk Premium
6.85% = 3% + 3.25 + MRP
MRP = 0.6%
So, the maturity risk premium for the 2-year securit is 0.6%
