Habender estimates its default risk premium at about 1.5% and its maturity risk premium at about 0.5%. Because it's a relatively small and unknown firm, its liquidity risk premium is about 1.8% even on relatively short debt like this. What pure interest rate is implied by these assumptions? Round your answer to one decimal place.
