Several months ago, Buddy Inc. issued a unique fixed income security. As of today, the security is maturing in 10 months.
The security pays semi-annual interest, which is equal to X% minus 3% p.a., where X is equal to the sum of the 6-month and 3-month LIBOR rates. That is, in every six months, the interest is defined as:
where L6 (quoted on an annual basis, in %) is the 6-month LIBOR and L3 (also quoted on an annual basis, in %) is the 3-month LIBOR. Assume that the 6-month LIBOR is always greater than the 3-month LIBOR and the 3-month LIBOR is always greater than 3% p.a. At maturity, the company will pay $100 as the face value of the security. Also, assume all other bonds and floating rate notes have a face value of $100, respectively.
Table 1 shows the 3-month and 6-month LIBOR rates observed several months ago:

6-month LIBOR

For example, two months ago, the 3-month LIBOR rate was observed at 4.0% p.a.
Table 2 shows the predicted 3-month and 6-month LIBOR rates over the next few months:

For example, four months from today, the 3-month LIBOR rate is predicted equal to 6.0% p.a.
