Consider the following spot rate curve: 6-month spot rate: 6%. 12-month spot rate: 11%. 18-month spot rate: 14%. What is the forward rate for a 6-month zero coupon bond issued one year from today? Equivalently, the question asks for f12, where 1 time period consists of 6 months. Remember, like spot rates, forward rates are expressed as bond-equivalent yields.

QUESTION 43 An analyst collects the following spot rates, stated as annual BEYS: • 6-month spot rate = 6%. • 12-month spot rate = 6.5%. • 18-month spot rate = 7% • 24-month spot rate = 7.5%. Given only this information, the price of a 2-year, semiannual-pay, 10% coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 is closest to: A) $918.30 B) $1,000.00 C) $1,046.77 ОА B oc

Suppose that we observe the following spot rates, i.e. the yield curve is upward sloping. The spot rates are annual rates that are semi-annually compounded. Time to Maturity Spot Rate 0.5 2.00% 1.0 2.50% 1.5 3.00% 2.0 3.50% 1. Compute the six-month forward curve, i.e. compute f(0,0.5,1.0), f(0,1.0,1.5), f(0,1.5,2.0). 2. What can we say about the forward curve? When the term structure of interest rates is upward sloping, the forward curve is __________ (upward/downward) sloping.
