    In one of the que of kaplan exam kit

    3month forward rate is 1.9066-1.9120
    12month forward rate is 1.8901-1.8945

    How to find 5 month forward rate from this info?

    You apportion between 3 months and 12 months.

    So you take the 3 months rate and then for the extra 2 months you subtract 2/9 of the different between the 3 month and 12 month rate.

    Sir, why do we substract for extra 2 months?
    Shouldn’t we add the 2 month rate(after finding 9month rate and dividing that rate by 9, giving us per month rate, and multiplying 2month to it )
    to the 3 month rate to find 5 month rate

    Is it because the forward rate decreases and no. Of months increases, that we substract?

    It is as you say but because the 12 month rate is lower than the 3 month rate, the 5 month rate must be lower than the 3 month rate also.

    If the 12 month rate was higher then the 5 month rate would be higher and we would then add and not subtract.
