Problem 6-11 Default Risk Premium

A company's 5-year bonds are yielding 9.6% per year. Treasury bonds with the same maturity are yielding 6.55% per year, and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.75%.

If the liquidity premium is 0.75%, what is the default risk premium on the corporate bonds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
