The one-year spot rate is 6% and the one-year forward rates starting in one, two and three years respectively are 6.5%, 6.8% and 7%. What is the four-year spot rate?
A)
6.51%.
B)
6.58%.
C)
6.57%.

The four-year spot rate is computed as follows:
Four-year spot rate = [(1 + 0.06)(1 + 0.065)(1 + 0.068)(1 + 0.07) ]1/4 – 1 = 6.57%

Given the implied forward rates of: R1 = 0.04; 1r1 = 0.04300; 1r2 = 0.05098; 1r3 = 0.051005, what is the theoretical 4-period spot rate?
A)
6.67%.
B)
2.33%.
C)
4.62%.


[(1.04)(1.043)(1.05098)(1.051005)].25−1

If the current two-year spot rate is 6% while the one-year forward rate for one year is 5%, what is the current spot rate for one year?
A)
5.5%.
B)
5.0%.
C)
7.0%.


(1 + f)(1 + r1) = (1 + r2)2
(1 + 0.05)(1 + r1) = (1 + 0.06)2
(1 + r1) = (1.06)2 / (1 + 0.05)
1 + r1 = 1.1236 / 1.05
1 + r1 = 1.0701
r1 = 0.07 or 7%

Which of the following statements regarding forward rates is NOT correct?
A)
Forward rates do not account for the market's tolerance for risk.
B)
By the aggregation of forward rates, spot rates can be estimated.
C)
Forward rates may be estimated from spot rates.


Spot interest rates are the result of market participant’s tolerance for risk and their collective view regarding the future path of interest rates. If we assume that these results are purely a function of expectations, we can use spot rates to estimate the market’s consensus on forward interest rates

The one-year spot rate is 5% and the two-year spot rate is 6.5%. What is the one-year forward rate starting one year from now?
A)
5.00%.
B)
8.02%.
C)
7.87%.


The forward rate is computed as follows:
One-year forward rate = 1.0652 / 1.05 – 1 = 8.02%
