Assume that a 3-year Treasury security yields 3.40%. Also assume that the real risk-free rate (r") is 0.75%, and inflation is expected to be 2.25% annually for the next 3 years. In addition to inflation, the nominal interest rate also includes a maturity risk premium (MRP) that reflects interest rate risk. What is the maturity risk premium for the 3-year security? Round your answer to two decimal places.
