7y ago#2Please do not simply set test questions and expect me to provide a full answer. You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question and so you should ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about - then I will help you.
Have you watched my free lectures on this? For forward rates you use the interest rate parity formula that is given on the formula sheet. Given that the question wants a 6 month forward rate, you use half of the yearly rates i.e. 1.5% and 1%.
