Answer:

r = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium + Default risk premium + Liquidity premium+maturity risk premium

Default risk premium and Liquidity premium are 0.

Real risk-free rate=2.1%

maturity risk premium=0.05*(7-1)%=0.3%

Inflation premium=(3.3%+4.85%+5*3.3%)/7=3.52%

so r = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium + Default risk premium + Liquidity premium

=2.1%+3.52%+0+0+0.3%

=5.92%
