Suppose that the prices of zero-coupon bonds with various maturities are given in the following table. The face value of each bond is $1,000.

Maturity (Years)	Price
1	$968.16
2	878.39
3	812.92
4	749.00
5	675.46

a.	Calculate the forward rate of interest for each year. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
