1. The real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.80% and is expected to remain constant into the future. Inflation is expected to be 6.80% per year for each of the next two years and 5.60% thereafter.

The maturity risk premium (MRP) is determined from the formula: 0.10 x (t – 1)%, where t is the security’s maturity. The liquidity premium (LP) on all National Transmissions Corp.’s bonds is 1.20%. The following table shows the current relationship between bond ratings and default risk premiums (DRP):

Rating

U. S. Treasury —
AAA 0.60%
AA 0.80%
A 1.05%
BBB 1.45%

10.58%

11.78%

6.00%
