Homework answers / question archive / A Treasury bond that matures in 10 years has a yield of 5
A Treasury bond that matures in 10 years has a yield of 5.75%. A 10-year corporate bond has a yield of 8.75%. Assume that the maturity risk premium on 10-year bond is 2% and the liquidity premium on the corporate bond is 0.45%. What is the default risk premium on the corporate bond?
Computation of the default risk premium on the bond:-
Corporate bond yield = Treasury bond yield + Default risk premium + Liquidity premium
8.75% = 5.75% + Default risk premium + 0.45%
Default risk premium = 8.75% - 5.75% - 0.45%
= 2.55%
