Answer #1

Solution-

Real risk free rate =1%

Inflation premium =0.50

Average inflation premium= (0.;50+0.50)/2=0.50

Yield on 2 year treasury security =1.94%

Yield on 2 year treasury securities= risk free rate + inflation premium + maturity risk premium

1.94%=1%+0.5%+ maturity risk premium

Maturity Risk Premium= 1.94%-1%-0.50%

Maturity Risk Premium= 0.44%

Maturity Risk Premium on 2 year treasury security = 0.44%
