问题如下:
The treasurer of a London-based insurance company expects that 3 years from today the company will receive GBP 800,000. The treasurer plans to invest the funds for 1 year after that and decides to lock in a rate of return on the funds at today’s forward rate for the period. The current 3-year and 4-year spot rates are 1.5% and 2% respectively, and the company can borrow and lend at these rates. Assuming continuous compounding, how much interest income will the company earn in the 1-year period beginning 3 years from today, and what transactions should the treasurer enter into today in order to lock in this return?
选项:
A.
Borrow at the 3-year spot rate and lend at the 4-year spot rate to earn a return of GBP 28,000.
B.
Lend at the 3-year spot rate and borrow at the 4-year spot rate to earn a return of GBP 28,000.
C.
Borrow at the 3-year spot rate and lend at the 4-year spot rate to earn a return of GBP 28,119.
D.
Lend at the 3-year spot rate and borrow at the 4-year spot rate to earn a return of GBP 28,119.

中文解析:
A正确。从第3年年末至第4年年末的远期利率:
或者,𝐹 = 𝑙𝑛(𝑒𝑥𝑝(0.02 ∗ 4)/𝑒𝑥𝑝(0.015 ∗ 3)).
英镑3.5%的利率等价于在第1年有28000英镑。为了获得这些利息,公司需要现在借入800000英镑,用1.5%的利率借3年期,并且把钱用2%的利率投资4年。
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A is correct. The forward rate for the period from the end of year 3 to the end of year 4 is:
Alternatively, 𝐹 = 𝑙𝑛(𝑒𝑥𝑝(0.02 ∗ 4)/𝑒𝑥𝑝(0.015 ∗ 3)).
3.5% interest on the GBP 800,000 invested equals GBP 28,000 in 1 year. To earn this
interest, the company would need to borrow GBP 800,000 today at 1.5% for 3 years and
invest the proceeds at 2% for 4 years.
B is incorrect. The company needs to borrow at the 3-year spot rate and lend at the 4-
year spot rate.
C and D are incorrect. GBP 28,119 is the interest income if annual compounding is used
instead of continuous compounding
老师,这个题不明白,28000是怎么算出来的啊
