A company's 5-year bonds are yielding 7% per year. Treasury bonds with the same maturity are yielding 4.75% per year, and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.30%. The average inflation premium is 2.05%, and the maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.1 x (t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. If the liquidity premium is 0.75%, what is the default risk premium on the corporate bonds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Corporate Bond Yield = 7.00%
T-Bond Yield = 4.75%
Real Risk-free Rate = 2.30%
Inflation Premium = 2.05%
Liquidity Premium = 0.75%
Maturity Risk Premium = 0.1 * (t - 1)%, here t = 5
Maturity Risk Premium = 0.1 * (5 - 1)%
Maturity Risk Premium = 0.40%
Corporate Bond Yield = Real Risk-free Rate + Inflation Premium +
Liquidity Premium + Maturity Risk Premium + Default Risk
Premium
7.00% = 2.30% + 2.05% + 0.75% + 0.40% + Default Risk Premium
7.00% = 5.50% + Default Risk Premium
Default Risk Premium = 1.50%
