Question:

One analyst states that in valuing bonds she first constructs the theoretical spot rates and then discounts cash flows using these rates. Another analyst interjects that his firm takes a different approach. Rather than using spot rates, forward rates are used to value the cash flows; he believes this is a better approach to valuing bonds compared to using spot rates. How would you respond to the second analyst’s comment about his firm’s approach?
