问题如下:
All rates are annual rates stated for a periodicity of one (effective annual rates).
The 3-year implied spot rate is closest to:
选项:
A.1.18%.
B.1.94%.
C.2.28%.
解释:
B is correct.
The 3 year implied spot rate is closest to 1.94%. It is calculated as the geometric average of the one-year forward rates:
(1.0080 × 1.0112 × 1.0394) = (1 + z3)3
1.05945 =(1+Z3)3
[1.05945]1/3= [(1+Z3)3] 1/3
1.01944 = 1 + z3
1.01944-1 = z3
0.01944 = z3, z3 = 1.944% or approximately 1.94%
不太明白为什么spot等于前面三个forward rate乘在一起
