Question

The real risk-free rate is 4.00%, inflation is expected to be 6.00% this year, and the maturity risk premium is zero. Ignoring any cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average, what is the equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond

Answer 1

The equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond is 10.24%.

Using this formula

T-bond yield = [(1 + Real Risk-free Rate) × (1 + Inflation Rate)] - 1

Let plug in the formula

T-bond yield= [(1 + 0.04) × (1 + 0.06)] - 1

T-bond yield=[(1.04)×(1.06)] -1

T-bond yield= 1.1024 - 1

T-bond yield= 0.1024×100

T-bond yield=10.24%

Inconclusion the equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond is 10.24%.
