Answer #1

Let forward rate from year 1 to year 2 be denoted as f2. which can be calculated as

f2 = (1+r2)2 / (1+r1)-1

where r2 is the two year rate and r1 is the one year rate

=(1+0.0489)2/(1+0.0592) - 1

=0.0387

= 3.87%

Now, since there is a liquidity premium of 0.3% , The Expected One year rate one year from today will be

E(r) = f2 - liquidity premium

=3.87%-0.3%

=3.57%

The answer without percentage sign is 3.57
