Ans:A
Assume:
xfy represents x-period forward rate y-period from now;
Z x+y represents (x+y)-period spot rate;
Z y represents y-period spot rate.
We have (1+Z x+y)x+y=(1+Zy)y (1+xfy)x
6-month forward rate one year from now in this case is 1 period forward rate 2-period from now.
All spot rates are given on a BEY basis and must be divided by 2 in the calculation:
(1+1f 2)1 (1+0.023/2)2=(1+0.03/2)3
1f 2=0.022038
On a BEY basis, the forward rate is 0.022038*2=4.41%
