    3-year = 6.33%

    5-year = 7%

    Explanation:

    Yield in security = Risk free rate + Maturity risk premium + Inflation premium + Liquidity premium + Default risk premium

    Maturity risk premium is given as 0

    Yield on 3-year treasury securities is 2 + [ (3.5 + 3.5 + 6) / 3] + 0

    = 6.33%

    Yield on 5-year treasury securities is 2 + [ (3.5 + 3.5 + 6 + 6 + 6) / 5] + 0

    =7%
