Question 4.14 (Note: already completed 4.14 - this problem is just listed for reference to Question 4.15)

Suppose that risk-free zero interest rates with continuous compounding are as follows:

Maturity (Months)

Rate (% per annum)

3

3.0

6

3.2

9

3.4

12

3.5

15

3.6

18

3.7

(These are the calculated forward rates for the 2nd - 6th quarter)

2nd quarter = 3.40%

3rd quarter = 3.80%

4th quarter = 3.80%

5th quarter = 4.00%

6th quarter = 4.20%

*********Question 4.15************ (This is the problem I need help with. Thank you! )

Assuming that SOFR rates are as in Problem 4.14 above, what is the value of an FRA where the holder will pay SOFR and receive 4.5% (quarterly compounded) for a three-month period starting in one year on a principal of $1,000,000?
