Answer #1

Yield on 10 year Corporate Bond = Yield on 10 year T Bond + Liquidity Premium + Default Risk Premium

Here, Maturity risk premium is not added as it is also with T bond

0.0665 = 0053 + 0.0025 + Default Risk Premium

Default Risk Premium = 0.0665 - 0.0025 - 0.053

Default Risk Premium = 0.011

Default Risk Premium = 1.10%
