The annual yield on a 4-year corporate security is 6.875 percent, while the annual yield on a 6-year corporate security is 7.85 percent. Assume that the real, risk-free rate of interest is expected to be constant over time at 2 percent, the default risk and liquidity premium on both securities is equal to 1.75 percent. Also assume that the maturity risk premium for all securities can be estimated as MPRt = (0.15%)*(t-1) where t is the number of periods until maturity. your analysis shows that the expected rate of inflation for year 2 is 2%. Year 3 is 3.5%. The expected rate of inflation for year 5 is 4.5%. Determine the anticipated rate of inflation for year 6.
