    7.65%

    Explanation:

    It use asked to find the 2 year forward rate 4 years from now. In this regards, the formula should be:

    (1 + %6year) ^6 = (1 + %4year) ^4 * (1 + %Fwd2year) ^2

    We have values for 6 and 4 year and we only need the Fwd2 year rate

    (1 + 0.0715) ^6 / (1 + 0.069) ^4 = (1 + Fwd2year) ^ 2

    Fwd2year = 7.65%
