Calculating the risk premium on bonds The text presents a formula where (1+1) = (1-p)(1 +i+x) + p(0) where i is the nominal interest rate on a riskless bond x is the risk premium p is the probability of default (bankruptcy) If the probability of bankruptcy is zero, the rate of interest on the risky bond is When the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is 8% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 3%, the probability of bankruptcy is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 6% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 11% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %.
