Answer #1

Given that,

YTM on Tesla bond = 3.4%

and YTM on Treasury bond = 3.1%

Treasury bonds are assume to be free of default risk, so default risk premium on the Tesla's bond is

default risk premium for investing in Tesla = YTM on Tesla - YTM on Treasury bond = 3.4% - 3.1% = 0.3%

So, Option C is correct.
