I. The nominal interest rate is 7%. If the expected inflation is 1% and the risk premium equals 2%, then what does the risk-free rate equal?
II. The nominal risk-free rate is 7% and the real rate of interest is 3%; then what is the expected inflation is expected to be?
I)
Nominal rate of interest = Real risk free rate + Inflation premium + default risk premium + liquidity premium + maturity risk premium
Risk free rate = Nominal interest rate - expected inflation - Risk premium
Risk free rate = 7% - 1% - 2%
Risk free rate = 4%
