John takes a 4-year loan that has 48 end-of-the-month payments of K subject to the nominal annual interest rate of 12% compounded monthly. He uses the loan amount to purchase a $1,000 par value 8 year bond, yielding an annual nominal rate of 8% compounded semi-annually, and paying semi-annual coupons at a nominal annual rate of 6%. Find K.

The real risk-free rate is 2.75%. Inflation is expected to be 3.75% this year, 4.15% next year, and 2.5% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.05 × (t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. What is the yield on a 7-year Treasury note? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
