You have been provided with the following information strips with $100 par values. a. Compute the forward rates of interest in the space provided in the table below: MATURITY (YEARS) SEMI-ANNUAL SPOT FORWARD RATES OF INTEREST RATES OF INTEREST 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 3.25 3.50 3.80 4.25 4.00 3.75 3.50 3.30 + | + | b. Sketch the yield curve. c. Is the yield curve consistent with segmented market theory? Explain. d. Suppose your expectations are that exactly one year from today, the six-month spot rate of interest will be 3.25% (semi-annual). You have a 1.5-year planning horizon. What would you do?
