An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 2.05% in Year 1, 2.7% in Year 2, and 4.35% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate is 1.6% and that this rate will remain constant. Three-year Treasury securities yield 6.65%, while 5-year Treasury securities yield 7.20%. What is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPs) on the two securities; that is, what is MRP5 - MRP3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Difference in maturity risk premium MRP5-MRP3=yield on 5 year-yield on 3 year-inflation on 5 year+inflation on 3 year=7.20%-6.65%-(2.05%+2.7%+4.35%*3)/5+(2.05%+2.7%+4.35%)/3=0.023%
