Subject : principles of finance

As an investor, you expect the inflation rate to be 7% next year, to fall to 5% during the following year and then to remain at a rate of 3% thereafter. Assuming that the real risk-free rate, k*, will remain at 2% and that maturity risk premiums on treasury securities rise from zero on very short-term bonds (those that mature in a few days) to a level of 0.2% point for 1-year securities. Furthermore, maturity risk premiums increase 0.2% point for each year to maturity, up to a limit of 1.0% point of 5-year or longer-term T-bonds.
