And that the FRA (1 year, starting two year from now) is 4%
A)One year interest rate for next year :[1+i2]^2/[1+i1]^1 -1
=[1+.02]^2/[1+.01]^1 -1
=[1.02]^2/[1.01]^1 -1
= 1.0404/1.01 - 1
= 1.0301-1
= .0301 or 3.01%
b)One year interest rate fir next next year = [1+y3]^3/[1+y2]^2 -1
=[1+.03]^3/[1+.02]^2 -1
=[1.03]^3/[1+.02]^2 -1
= 1.092727/1.0404 -1
= 1.0503-1
= .0503 or 5.03%
