A company's 5-year bonds are yielding 9% per year. Treasury bonds with the same maturity are yielding 5.1% per year, and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.35%. The average inflation premium is 2.35%, and the maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.1 × (t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity.
