A 5-year Treasury bond has a 5.2% yield. A 10-yr Treasury bond yields 6.4%, and 10-year corporate bond yields 8.4%. The market expects that inflation will average 2.5% over the next 10 years (IP10 = 2.5%). Assume that there is no maturity risk premium (MRP=0) and that the annual real risk-free rate, r*, will remain constant over the next 10 yrs. A 5-year corporate bond has the same default risk premium and liquidity premium as the 10-year corporate corporate bond described. What is the yield on this 5-year corporate bond?
