A 10-year government bond currently yields 10% with a maturity risk premium of 3%. The rate of return on an ideal world without inflation is 2%. If the inflation rate for the years one to five is the same at 4% per year, what is the expected per year average rate of inflation between years five to ten? (In percentage, put percentage sign)

What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond? What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and rd declined to 7%? Would we now have a premium or a discount bond? What would happen to the value of the 10-year bond over time if the required rate of return remained at 13%? If it remained at 7%? (Hint: With a financial calculator, enter PMT, I/YR, FV, and N, and then change N to see what happens to the PV as the bond approaches maturity.)
The real risk-free rate of interest, r*, is 4 percent, and it is expected to remain constant over time. Inflation is expected to be 2 percent per year for the next three years, after which time inflation is expected to remain at a constant rate of 5 percent per year. The maturity risk premium is equal to 0.1(t - 1)%, where t = the bond’s maturity. What is the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond?
