If 3 month forward rate and 1 year forward rate is given , how to find out the five month forward rate … ?
3 month : 1.9066
1 year : 1.8901November 27, 2014 at 2:10 am #213626@anu1234 said:

Anu1234: You need to apportion between the 3 month and the 12 month rates. Between the two is 9 months, and to go from three months we need an extra 2 months.
So take the 3 month rate and then subtract 2/9 of the difference between the 3 month and the 12 month rate.
1.9066 – 2/9(1.9066 – 1.8901) = 1.9029
