If you expect the yield curve to invert next year, with spot rates for maturities of 10-years and above falling and spot rates for maturities less than 10-years rising. Given your forecast, explain which of bond Bond A or Bond B you would recommend for a long position over the upcoming year: Bond A -discount bond with a duration of 12-years and YTM of 5%; Bond B -coupon rate of 10%, a duration of 12-years, and a YTM of 5%.

Consider the following spot rate curve: 6-month spot rate: 4%. 12-month spot rate: 10%. 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. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. For example if your answer is 3.205%, then please write down 0.0321.
