    inflation premium is 1.05%

    fair interest rate is 7.15%

    Explanation:

    given data

    currently earning = 1.90 percent

    Real risk-free rate = 0.85%

    Default risk premium = 1.80%

    Liquidity risk premium = 1.05%

    Maturity risk premium = 2.40%

    solution

    we get here Inflation Premium that is

    Inflation Premium = (Current year bond rate - Real risk free rate) ... 1

    Inflation Premium = 1.90 %-0.85%

    Inflation Premium = 1.05%

    and

    now we get here fair interest as

    Fair rate = Real interest rate + Default risk premium + liquidity risk premium + Maturity risk premium + inflation premium ... 2

    Fair rate = 0.85 % + 1.80% + 1.05% + 2.40% + 1.05%

    Fair rate = 7.15%
