    Maturity risk premium 3.50%

    Explanation:

    Yield rate = 9%

    Risk free risk = 3.25%

    Inflation rate = 2.25%

    Formula for yield rate:

    Yield rate = Risk free risk + Inflation rate + Maturity risk premium

    r = rfr+ir+Mrp

    9.00% = 3.25% + 2.25% + Mrp

    0.09 = 0.0325 + 0.0225 + Mrp

    0.09 = 0.055 + Mrp

    Mrp = 0.09 - 0.055

    Mrp = 0.035

    Mrp = 3.5%

    So the Maturity risk premium is 3.5%
