    one-year forward rate for year 2:

    (1+4.75%) (1+f) = (1+4.95%) ^2

    (1+4.75%) (1+f) = 1.10145025

    (1+F) = 1.10145025/1.0475

    (1+f) = 1.0515

    f = 5.15%

    one-year forward rate for year 3:

    (1+4.95%) ^2 (1+f) = (1+5.25%) ^3

    (1+4.95%) ^2 (1+f) = 1.16591345312

    (1+f) = 1.16591345312 / 1.10145025

    (1+f) = 1.0585

    f=5.85%

    one-year forward rate for year 4:

    (1+5.25%) ^3 (1+f) = (1+5.65%) ^4

    (1+f) = 1.0685

    f = 6.85%
