Explanation / Answer

8. Assuming that the expectations theory hold, we can calculate :

one year interest rates * one year interest rates in one year = 2 year interest rates

(1.02)( 1+ x) = )1.04)^2

or, x = 6%

the correct option is option C.

9. The maturity risk premium is zero. Both the corporate bonds and the treasury bonds have the same maturity so there is no maturity risk premium. As the maturity risk premium is the compensation for holding longer maturity bonds, so there will be no premium in this case.

the correct option is option a .

10. the only difference between the corporate bond and the treasury bond with the same maturity is default risk premium and the liquidity risk premium.

Rcorp = R treasury bond + MRP + DEFAULT RISK PREMIUM + LIQUIDITY PREMIUM

6.8 = 4 + 0.8 + 1.8 + LP = 0.2%

The correct option is option b.

11. Primary amrket is a market where we buy shares directly from the exchange.

When we buy shares already purchased from some other entity, it is a secondary market.

the correct option is option c
