6. (TCO B) Suppose you borrowed $14,000 at a rate of 10.0% and must repay it in five equal

9. (TCO C) Niendorf Corporation's five-year bonds yield 6.75%, and five-year T-bonds
yield 4.80%. The real risk-free rate is r* = 2.75%, the inflation premium for five-year
bonds is IP = 1.65%, the default risk premium for Niendorf's bonds is DRP = 1.20% versus
zero for T-bonds, and the maturity risk premium for all bonds is found with the formula
MRP = (t - 1) x 0.1%, where t = number of years to maturity. What is the liquidity premium
(LP) on Niendorf's bonds? (Points : 10)
10. (TCO C) Assume that to cool off the economy and decrease expectations for inflation, the
Federal Reserve tightened the money supply, causing an increase in the risk-free rate, rRF.
Investors also became concerned that the Fed's actions would lead to a recession, and that
led to an increase in the market risk premium, (rM - rRF). Under these conditions, with
other things held constant, which of the following statements is most correct? (Points : 10)
