3. Based on Exhibit 1, the forward rate of a one-year loan beginning in three years is closest to:
选项:
A. 4.17%
B. 4.5%
C. 5.51%
解释:
C is correct.
A one-year loan beginning in three years, or f(3,1), is calculated as follows:
[1+r(3+1)](3+1)= [1+r(3)]3[1+f(3,1)]1
[1.040]4=[1.035]3[1+f(3,1)]1
f(3,1)=(1.04)4/(1.035)3-1=5.514%
可以用(1+S4)^4=(1+S1)(1+S2)(1+S3)(1+f)来求不?总觉得是不是对这个概念理解没有透彻……
