    6.8%

    Explanation:

    Formula: r = r * + IP + MRP + DRP + LP.

    Therefore:

    r = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium + Default risk premium + Liquidity premium

    r * = 0.03

    IP = 0.03+0.04=0.07

    0.07+5*0.035=0.245

    0.245/7=0.035

    The maturity risk premium was provided in the problem as:

    0.05 x (t - 1) %

    MRP = 0.05 (7-1) %

    = 0.05 (6%) = 0.0030

    DRP = 0

    LP = 0

    Addition of all will be:

    rt7 = 0.03 + 0.035 + 0.0030 = 0.068 = 6.8%

    The yield on a 7-year Treasury note is 6.8%
