Answer:

Default risk premium = 1.9%

Explanation:

r = r* + IP + MRP + DRP + LP

Where, IP is the Inflation premium, MRP = market risk premium, DRP=default risk premium, LP=liquidity risk premium, R* = Real risk free rate

The only factors above which will different in T bond and corporate bond is LP and DRP and others will be same

Corporate bond yield=8.0%

T bond yield=6.0%

LP=0.1%

(8.0%-6.0%)=LP+DRP

DRP = 2.0%-0.1%

DRP = 1.9%
