r*
real risk free rate of interest
ip

DRP

LP
liquidity Premium
MRP
maturity risk premium
what the determinats of interest rate equation
R = r* + ip + drp + lp + mrp
when you have higher risk?
you could have a higher return. you will also have higher return, higher interest and higher premiums
when you liquidity premium is high
the lp goes down(decreases
when your liquidity premium is low
the lp goes up(increases)
inflation premium
a premium added to the real risk-free
rate of interest to compensate for expected inflation, which is equal
to the average rate of inflation expected over the life of the security.
default risk premium
a premium based on the
probability that the issuer will default on the loan, and it is measured
by the difference between the interest rate on a U.S. Treasury bond
and a corporate bond of equal maturity, liquidity, and other features.
liquidity premium
is added to the rate of interest on
securities that are not liquid. A liquid asset is one that can be sold at
a predictable price on short notice. (large firm vs. small firm)
maturity risk premium
is a premium that reflects
interest rate risk; longer-term securities have more interest rate risk
(the risk of capital loss due to rising interest rates) than do shorterterm securities, and the MRP is added to reflect this risk.
