a).
Formula | [(1,000/Pn)^(1/n)] -1 | [(1+yn)^n/(1+yn-1)^n-1] -1 | |
Maturity (years) n | Price (P) | Yield (y) | Forward rate (f) |
1 | 976.20 | 2.44% | - |
2 | 858.39 | 7.93% | 13.72% |
3 | 788.92 | 8.22% | 8.81% |
4 | 721.80 | 8.49% | 9.30% |
5 | 670.48 | 8.32% | 7.65% |
b). 1-year forward loan beginning in year 3:
Short sell a 3-year zero bond at 788.92. The number of 4-year zeros you'll need to buy to offset this, will be
3-year zero price/4-year zero price = 788.92/721.80 = 1.09299
Face value of the loan = par value of zero*number of zeros bought = 1,000*1.09299 = 1,092.99
Rate of synthetic loan = (cash inflow in year 4/cash outflow in year 3) -1 = (1,092.99/1,000) -1 = 9.30%
c). 1-year forward loan beginning in year 4:
Again, short sell a 4-year zero bond at 721.80. Buy 5-year zeros.
Number of 5-year zeros you can buy = 721.80/670.48 = 1.07654
Face value of loan = par value of zero*number of zeros bought = 1,000*1.07654 = 1,076.54
Rate of synthetic loan = (cash inflow in year 5/cash outflow in year 4) -1 = (1,076.54/1,000) -1 = 7.65%
