Beth would like to invest a certain amount of money for two years and considers investing in a one$-$year bond that pays $3$ percent and a two$-$year bond that pays $7$ percent. Beth is considering the following investment strategies:

Strategy A: In the first year, buy a one$-$year bond that pays $3$ percent. Once that bond matures, buy another one$-$year bond that pays the forward rate.

Strategy B: In the first year, buy a two$-$year bond that pays $7$ percent annually.

If the one$-$year bond purchased in year two pays $7$ percent, Beth will choose $.$
