If 10-year T-bonds have a yield of 6.2 10-year corporate bonds yield 7.9 the maturity risk premium on all 10-year bonds is 1.3 and corporate bonds have a 0.4 liquidity premium versus a zero liquidity?
To find the maturity risk premium on corporate bonds, we can use the following formula: Corporate bond yield = T-bond yield + Maturity risk premium + Liquidity premium. Given the yields, we have: 7.9% = 6.2% + 1.3% + 0.4%. This indicates that the maturity risk premium accounts for the difference in yields between T-bonds and corporate bonds, confirming that the corporate bonds include both the maturity risk premium and the liquidity premium.

Should bonds issued at a premium always have?
Bonds issued at a premium are sold for more than their face value, meaning investors pay a higher price upfront. This occurs when the bond’s coupon rate—the annual interest paid to bondholders—is higher than the prevailing market interest rates for similar bonds. The higher coupon rate makes the bond more attractive, justifying the premium price. However, bonds issued at a premium do not always have to carry a higher coupon rate. A bond’s issuance price can also be influenced by factors such as the issuer’s credit rating, market conditions, and investor expectations. For example, if market rates decline after the bond’s terms are set but before issuance, the bond might sell at a premium even with a standard coupon rate. Premium bonds can benefit investors seeking steady and higher-than-market income. They also appeal to those who prioritize stability since the premium amortizes over time as the bond approaches maturity, reducing its carrying value. However, investors should carefully evaluate the bond’s effective yield—the actual return accounting for the premium price—before purchasing. In summary, while premium bonds(888.951.8680) typically reflect higher coupon rates relative to market rates, this is not an absolute rule, as other factors may also drive their premium pricing.
