4. Let T = for i = 0, 1, 2,..., 20 and 

4. Let T = for i = 0, 1, 2,..., 20 and let p; [2] denote the nominal spot rate that will prevail at time T; for borrowing and investing between times T; and Ti+1. Consider a nonstandard interest rate swap between two parties A and B in which the roles of receiveing fixed and floating payments will interchange half way through the swap. More precisely: At each of the times T; with i=1,2,..., 10 A pays B the variable amount FP-12 and B pays A the fixed amount F2. At each of the times T; with i= 11, 12,..., 20 A pays B the fixed amount F2 and B pays A the variable amount FP-1[2] The (constant) swap rate q[2] is chosen so that neither party pays anything to enter the agreement (at time t = 0) and the notional principal F is never paid. Find an expression for the swap rate q[2] in terms of the discount factors d(.5), d(1), ..., d(10).
