Question 3 (20 marks) Figure below presents the spot yield curves for different scenarios. Please use it to answer parts A and B. Scenario 1 Scenario 2 - 2 -1 0.1 2.3 .3 -2 -1 0 1 2 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 8 9 10 5 6 Maturity 5 6 7 Maturity Scenario 3 Scenario 4 N 7 o .

How would you expect the forward curve to change at year 7 relative to the spot curve (i.e. lie above or below). Please explain your answers. [2 marks] B. Based on the yield curve under Scenario 3, if it also included a positive liquidity premium, what would you expect this yield curve to look like compared to the same yield curve without a positive liquidity premium?
