Question 1: Suppose you and most other investors expect the inflation rate to be 7 percent next year, to fall to 5 percent during the following year, and to remain at a rate of 3 percent thereafter. Assume that the real-risk rate k*, will remain at 2 percent and that the maturity risk premium on the Treasury securities rise from zero on very short-term securities (those that mature in a few days) to a level of 0.2 percentage point for 1-year securities. Furthermore, MRPs increase 0.2 percentage point for each year to maturity, up to a limit of 1.0 percentage point on 5-year or longer-term T-notes and T-bonds.
