Answer:

8.3%

Explanation:

Real risk - free rate of interest ( k* ) = 4%

Inflation for next four ( 4 ) years = 2% per year

Inflation rate after four years = 5%

maturity risk premium =  0.1 ( t - 1 )%

<u>Determine Yield on a 10-year Treasury bond </u>

t = bond's maturity

Yield = Real risk - free rate + maturity risk premium + inflation rate

Inflation rate for 10 years = ( 4  + 30 ) / 10  ) % = 3.4%

Yield = 4% + 0.1(10- 1)% + 3.4

         = 4% + 0.9% + 3.4%

         = 8.3%

Tju [1.3M]
Supply restricted program heavily reduce the amount of products that sold in the market (that mostly came from import) in order to increase the price and income for local business.
But one thing that needed to be considered is, when the price is increased, the demand for that product will decrease at the same time, so eventually the sellers will have to bring the price down again to increase the demand.
