Consider the Key Rates model with keys equal to 2, 5, 10, and 30 year forward rates. Assume that currently all forward interest rates are equal to 6%. The KR01s for 5, 7, 10, 16, and 30-year zero-coupon bonds are given in the table below. All bonds have $100 face values. Keep at least 6 decimal digits for all calculations!!!

a) Find KR01s of a 2-year zero-coupon bond
b) Find KR01s of a 14-year zero-coupon bond
c) Using 2, 5, 10, and 30-year zero-coupon bonds, find the optimal hedging portfolio to hedge a portfolio that consists of 1,000 of 7-year zero-coupon bonds
d) Using 2, 5, 16, and 30-year zero-coupon bonds, find the optimal hedging portfolio to hedge a portfolio that consists of 1,000 of 7-year zero-coupon bonds
