Question

An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 1.9% in Year 1, 2.8% in Year 2, and 4.05% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2.45% and that this rate will remain constant. Three-year Treasury securities yield 5.20%, while 5-year Treasury securities yield 6.00%. What is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPs) on the two securities; that is, what is $MRP_5 - MRP_3$? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
