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.
