Reading 5: The Time Value of Money

LOS b: Explain an interest rate as the sum of a real risk-free rate, expected inflation, and premiums that compensate investors for distinct types of risk.

Which one of the following statements best describes the components of the required interest rate on a security?

A)
The real risk-free rate, the expected inflation rate, the default risk premium, a liquidity premium and a premium to reflect the risk associated with the maturity of the security.

B)
The nominal risk-free rate, the expected inflation rate, the default risk premium, a liquidity premium and a premium to reflect the risk associated with the maturity of the security.

C)
The real risk-free rate, the default risk premium, a liquidity premium and a premium to reflect the risk associated with the maturity of the security.

The required interest rate on a security is made up of the nominal rate which is in turn made up of the real risk-free rate plus the expected inflation rate. It should also contain a liquidity premium as well as a premium related to the maturity of the security.

T-bill yields can be thought of as:

A)
nominal risk-free rates because they contain an inflation premium.

B)
nominal risk-free rates because they do not contain an inflation premium.

C)
real risk-free rates because they contain an inflation premium.

T-bills are government issued securities and are therefore considered to be default risk free. More precisely, they are nominal risk-free rates rather than real risk-free rates since they contain a premium for expected inflation.

The real risk-free rate can be thought of as:

A)
approximately the nominal risk-free rate reduced by the expected inflation rate.

B)
exactly the nominal risk-free rate reduced by the expected inflation rate.

C)
approximately the nominal risk-free rate plus the expected inflation rate.

The approximate relationship between nominal rates, real rates and expected inflation rates can be written as:

Nominal risk-free rate = real risk-free rate + expected inflation rate.

Therefore we can rewrite this equation in terms of the real risk-free rate as:

Real risk-free rate = Nominal risk-free rate – expected inflation rate

The exact relation is: (1 + real)(1 + expected inflation) = (1 + nominal)
