Suppose you are considering two possible investment opportunities: a 12-yearTreasury bond and a 7-year, A-rated corporate bond. The current real risk-free rateis 4%, and inflation is expected to be 2% for the next 2 years, 3% for the following4 years, and 4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated by this formula:MRP = 0.02(t - 1)%. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimatedto be 0.3%. You may determine the default risk premium (DRP), given thecompany’s bond rating, from the table below. Remember to subtract the bond’s LPfrom the corporate spread given in the table to arrive at the bond’s DRP. Whatyield would you predict for each of these two investments?RateCorporate Bond Yield

Assume that the Pure Expectations Theory of the term structure is correct. Also assume that the interest rate today on a 9-year security is 6.40%, while the interest rate today on a 15-year security is 8.00%. Finally assume that the interest rate on a 3-year security to be bought at Year 9 and held over Years 10, 11, and 12 is 6.80%. Given this information, determine the average annual return that investors today must expect that they will receive from investing in a 3-year security in 12 Years (that is, buying the security at Year 12 and holding it over Years 13, 14, and 15).

If the expectations theory of the term structure is true, then it implies that the current interest rat ein 2-year bond must be ____% (round to one decimal place x.x)
