Compute the three forward starting one year rates given the following annually compounded spot rates: r(0,1) = 1.00%, r(0,2) = 1.18%, r(0,3) = 1.25%, and r(0,4) = 1.3%.
1 year forward rate=1.0118^2/1.01-1=1.360%
2 year forward rate=1.0125^3/1.0118^2-1=1.390%
3 year forward rate=1.013^4/1.0125^3-1=1.450%

You expect to receive £1 million in one year. Spot and forward rates are S0€/£ = F1€/£ = €1.25/£. The sale is invoiced in pounds. a. Identify your expected pound cash flow on a timeline. Draw a risk profile for this exposure in terms of euros per pound. If the spot rate in one year is S1€/£ = €1.50/£, what is your gain or loss on this transaction? b. How would you hedge this exposure with a forward contract? Use...

Based on the following rates: 1-year spot rate 3.0% 1-year forward rate one year from now 5.0% 2-year forward rate one year from now 6.5% The 3-year spot rate is closest to:
. Consider the data given below. The one-year rates can be
viewed as spot interest rates, and the two-year rates are yields to
maturity in annualized percent
.

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.
Suppose that OIS rates of all maturities are 6% per annum, continuously compounded. The one-year LIBOR rate is 6.4%, annually compounded and the two-year swap rate for a swap where payments are exchanged annually is 6.8%, annually compounded. Which of the following is closest to the LIBOR forward rate for the second year when LIBOR discounting is used and the rate is expressed with annual compounding
