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?
