Assume that the current exchange rate is $0.90/ using the following table of information. Briefly discuss results.

1. Suppose that oil forward prices for 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years are $20, $21, and $22. The 1-year effective annual interest rate is 6.0%, the 2-year interest is 6.5% and 3-year interest is 7%, what is the 3-year SWAP price?
2. Supposing the effective quarterly interest rate is 1.5%, what are the per-barrel swap prices for 4-quarter and 8-quarter oil swaps? (Use oil forward prices in table) What is the total cost of prepaid 4- and 8-quarter swaps?
3. Using the information about zero-coupon bond prices and oil forward prices in table, construct the set of swap prices for oil for 1 through 8 quarters.
4. Using the information in table, what is the swap price of a 4-quarter oil swap with the first settlement occurring in the third quarter?
