The morning round of negotiations concludes, and everyone will reconvene in the afternoon. By now, you have become a reliable participant in the meetings, especially for quick, precise calculations. Nancy, one of your colleagues, gives you a heads-up that the afternoon session will be shorter and focused on swaps. Although you have not received significant training in swaps, you understand that the pricing principles should be similar to those for other fixed-income instruments. You go over the data that will be used in the afternoon session, and you give it a try at calculating the price of an interest-rate-swap price, as a starting point. You are familiar with par rates, so you know that the calculation is exactly the same.   Please provide your answer as percentage and not as decimal (i.e. 5.2% and not 0.052). Please round to the nearest three decimals if needed. TTM DF 1yr [pvf1] 2yr [pvf2] 3yr [pvf3] 4yr [pvf4]

The first round of negotiations will begin in approximately 45 minutes. You are excited about the opportunity to participate in the discussions. Moreover, your supervisor informs you that you will be leading the conversation if the topic of funding comes up. More precisely, you should advise the investments team on whether long term borrowing vs. short term borrowing is preferrable under the current market conditions. You recall that forward rates should provide a rough idea on whether markets expect rates to move up or down. Luckily, you have now obtained all the current spot rates listed below, so estimating forward rates is rather straightforward:    1-year spot rate: [spot1]% 2-year spot rate: [spot2]% 3-year spot rate: [spot3]% 4-year spot rate: [spot4]% 5-year spot rate: [spot5]% 6-year spot rate: [spot6]% 7-year spot rate: [spot7]% 8-year spot rate: [spot8]%   For your potential intervention during the meeting, you consider that the [length]-year forward rate starting at year [start] is the best proxy to make a recommendation.    After some calculations, you find that the [length]-year forward rate starting at year [start] is exactly ___________.   Round your answer to the nearest three decimals if needed. Type your answer in percentage and not in decimals (i.e. 5.212 and not 0.052). Do not type the % symbol.
