Answer:

The difference between two securities is 0.89%.

Explanation:

Inflation premium for the next three and five years:

Inflation premium (3) = (1.6% + 3.05% + 3.85%) ÷ 3

                                  = 2.83%

Inflation premium (5) = (1.6% + 3.05% + 3.85% + 3.85% + 3.85%) ÷ 5

                                  = 3.24%

Real risk-free rate = 2.35%

Since default premium and liquidity premium are zero on treasury bonds, we can now solve for the maturity risk premium:

Three-year Treasury securities = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium (3) + MRP(3)

6.80% = 2.35% + 2.83% + MRP(3)

MRP (3) = 1.62%

Similarly,

5-year Treasury securities = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium (5) + MRP(5)

8.10% = 2.35% + 3.24% + MRP(3)

MRP (5) = 2.51%

Thus,

MRP5 - MRP3 = 2.51% - 1.62%

                         = 0.89%

Therefore, the difference between two securities is 0.89%.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

people care more about their own surplus than they do about total surplus. 

Explanation:

Price control can either be a price ceiling or a price floor.

A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a good or service. It is usually set below equilibrium price.

Price ceiling increase consumer surplus and reduce producer surplus.

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the least price a good or service can be sold. It is usually set above equilibrium price.

Price floor increases producer surplus and reduces consumer surplus.

Producers would be advocating for a price floor because it increases their surplus, while, consumers would advocate for a price ceiling.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a product and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product.
