The one year spot rate is 2%, the two-year spot rate is 3%, the three-year spot rate is 4% and the four-year spot rate is 5%.
A. How many forward rates are there over the four-year period? Identify each forward rate with the symbol F which represents the forward rate over the period from the end of year "T" to the end of year "T+N". For example, F is the two-year forward rate from the end of year 2 to the end of year 4.
B. Calculate all the forward rates you have identified in the previous question.
C. Suppose you need to borrow $10,000 in one year for three years and wish to lock your three-year borrowing rate today. What would be that right? Explain how you will achieve your objective.
