4. Question 4 Relation between spot and forward rates Suppose the spot rates for 1 and 2 years are s1 = 6.3% s1=6.3% and s2 = 6.9% with annual compounding. Recall that in this course interest rates are always quoted on an annual basis unless otherwise specified. What is the forward rate, f1,2 assuming annual compounding? Please submit your answer as a percentage rounded to one decimal place so, for example, if your answer is 8.789% then you should submit an answer of

Suppose that the one-year spot rate y0,1 of interest is 5%. Investors are expecting that the one-year spot rate one year from now will increase to 7%; thus, the one-year forward rate y1,2 on a loan originated in one year is 7%. Furthermore, assume that the three-year spot rate equals 7% as well. What is the anticipated one-year forward rate y2,3 on a loan originated in two years based on the pure expectations hypothesis?
