5. Assume the following: The real risk-free rate, r*, is expected to remain constant at
3%. Inflation is expected to be 3% next year and then to be constant at 2% a year
thereafter. The maturity risk premium is zero. Given this information, which of the
following statements is CORRECT?
a. The yield curve for U.S. Treasury securities will be upward sloping.
b. A 5-year corporate bond must have a lower yield than a 5-year Treasury security.
c. A 5-year corporate bond must have a lower yield than a 7-year Treasury security.
d. The real risk-free rate cannot be constant if inflation is not expected to remain
constant.
e. This problem assumed a zero maturity risk premium, but that is probably
not valid in the real world.

8. The real risk-free rate of interest is expected to remain constant at 3% for the foreseeable
future. However, inflation is expected to increase steadily over the next 30 years, so the
Treasury yield curve has an upward slope. Assume that the pure expectations theory holds.
You are also considering two corporate bonds, one with a 5-year maturity and one with a 10-
year maturity. Both have the same default and liquidity risks. Given these assumptions, which
of these statements is CORRECT?
a. Since the pure expectations theory holds, the 10-year corporate bond must have the same
yield as the 5-year corporate bond.
b. Since the pure expectations theory holds, all 5-year Treasury bonds must have higher
yields than all 10-year Treasury bonds.
c. Since the pure expectations theory holds, all 10-year corporate bonds must have the same
yield as 10-year Treasury bonds.
d. The 10-year Treasury bond must have a higher yield than the 5-year corporate bond.
e. The 10-year corporate bond must have a higher yield than the 5-year corporate bond.
