Answer #1

EXACT:
Expected one year bond interest rate 2 years from now=(1+rate for 3 years)^3/((1+rate for 1 year)*(1+rate for 1 year 1 year from now))-1=1.08^3/(1.09*1.09)-1=6.0274%
APPROXIMATE:
Expected one year bond interest rate 2 years from now=rate for 3 years*3-rate for 1 year-rate for 1 year 1 year from now=8%*3-9%-9%=6%
