问题如下:
Which forward rate cannot be computed from the one-, two-, three-, and four-year spot rates? The rate for a:
选项:
A.one-year loan beginning in two years.
B.two-year loan beginning in two years.
C.three-year loan beginning in two years.
解释:
C is correct.
There is no spot rate information to provide rates for a loan that terminates in five years. That is f(2,3) is calculated as follows:
The equation above indicates that in order to calculate the rate for a three-year loan beginning at the end of two years you need the five year spot rate r(5) and the two-year spot rate r(2). However r(5) is not provided.
第五年的spot rate是可以通过s1,s2,s3,s4算出来的吧,如果这样,那c选项是不是应该也可以算出来呢?
