Juanita would like to invest a certain amount of money for three years and considers investing in $(1)$ a one$-$year bond that pays $4$ percent, followed by a two$-$year bond that pays the forward rate, or $(2)$ a three$-$year bond that pays $8$ percent in each of the next three years. Juanita is considering the following investment strategies:

Strategy A: Buy a one$-$year bond that pays $4$ percent in year one, then buy a two$-$year bond that pays the two$-$year forward rate in years two and three.

Strategy B: Buy a three$-$year bond that pays $8$ percent in each of the next three years.
