Q1: What are the rates with continuous compounding?
Q2: What is the forward rate for the six-month period beginning in 12 months (i.e., F12,18)?
Q3: What is the value of an FRA that promises to pay you 5.50% (compounded semi-annually)
on a principal of $1 million for the six-month period starting in 12 months? Hints: you must convert your continuous rate calculated in Q2 to semi-annual to determine the current forward rate for the FRA; you must remember that the contract covers only 6 months (one-half year) of
interest.
