Can you tell me how to calculate the DRP on the Corporate bonds? Info that I have follows:
5 Year Treasury note 5% interest rate
5 year Corporate bond (high quality) 6% interest rate
5 Year Corporate Bond (low quality) 8% interest rate

Thanks for the help!

Generaly. DRP is the difference between 10 year US Treasury Bill and the low grade bond having a rating of Baa or lower than that.
