Answer:

c. 8.7%

Explanation:

Inflation for the next year is 2.5% and year 3 and beyond is 4.5%

Pure rate is 2.0%

Maturity Risk premium (MRP) is 0 for a 1-year maturity and increasing by 0.1% each year

Default Risk Premium (DRP) is 1.5%

Liquidity Risk Premium(LRP) is 0.0% for treasuries, 0.5% for Corporate bond

Interest rate = Pure rate + Inflation + LRP + MRP + DRP

= 2 + Inflation + 0.5 + (0.1*7) + 1.5%

= 2 + {(2 years * 2.5) + (6 years * 4.5) / 8} + 0.5 + (0.1*7) + 1.5%

= 2% + 4% + 0.5% + 0.7% + 1.5%

= 8.7%
