Answer: 1.9%

Explanation:

The risk premium is the return that an investment offers over the risk free rate in the market.

The risk free rate is the return on the U.S. Treasury bill in the same period:

Average risk premium = Return on long term corporate bond - Return on U.S. T-bill

= 6.1% - 4.2%

= 1.9%
