问题如下:
Consider spot rates for three zero-coupon bonds: r(1) = 3%. r(2) = 4%. and r(3) = 5%. Which statement is correct? The forward rate for a one-year loan beginning in one year will be:
选项:
A.less than the forward rate for a one-year loan beginning in two-years.
B.greater than the forward rate for a two-year loan beginning in one-year.
C.greater than the forward rate for a one-year loan beginning in two-years.
解释:
A is correct
The forward rate for a one-year loan beginning in one-year f(1,1) is
The rate for a one-year loan beginning in two-year f(2,1) is . This confirms that an upward sloping yield curve is consistent with an upward sloping forward curve.
算f(2,1),我的列式是1.03*1.04*f(2.1)=1.05三次方,对吗?
