The effective annual yield on a one-year zero coupon bond is 8% and the effective annual interest rate on a two-year zero coupon bond is 8.5%. You are able to arrange a one-year forward loan at rate i for a one-year period. Suppose that under these conditions it is possible to make a riskless profit with the following strategy: (i) borrow amount 1 for one year at 8% effective annual, (ii) invest amount 1 for 2 years at 8.5% per year effective annual, (iii) arrange a one-year forward one-year length loan of amount 1.08 at rate i (starting one year from now) and repay the loan in (i),
