The problem asks for the 2-year forward rate starting in 1 year, given annual spot rates for 1, 2, and 3 years: r1 = 3.00%, r2 = 3.50%, r3 = 4.50%.

Key idea: in compounding terms, the return from now to year 3 can be decomposed into the return from now to year 1, and then a forward 2-year loan starting in year 1. Mathematically, (1 + r3)^3 = (1 + r1) * (1 + f1,2)^2. The forward rate f1,2 is the 2-year rate commencing in year 1.

Step 1: compute (1 + r3)^3. With r3 = 4.50%, (1.045)^3. First square: 1.045^2 = 1.092025. Multiply by 1.045 again: 1.092025 * 1.045 ≈ 1.141166. So (1 + r3)^3 ≈ 1.141166.

Step 2: compute (1 + r1). With r1 = 3.00%, (1 + r1) = 1.03.

Step 3: solve for (1 + f1,2)^2 = (1 + r3)^3 / (1 + r1) ≈ 1.141166 / 1.03 ≈ 1.107... . A more precise division gives a value around 1.106.

Step 4: take the square root to obtain 1 + f1,2. If (1 + f1,2)^2 ≈ 1.106, then 1 + f1,2 ≈ sqrt(1.106) ≈ 1.052. This yields f1,2 ≈ 0.052 or about 5.2%.

Step 5: convert to percent with two decimals. The computed forward rate is approximately 5.26% when rounded to two decimals.

Notes on alternative checks: you could also verify by computing discount factors from the given spot rates and solving for the forward rate via DF1 * DF_forward^2 = DF3, which leads to a similar result around 5.26%. Small rounding differences in intermediate steps (due to how precisely one carries the division and square root) can shift the final two-decimal result by a few basis points, but the value should be in the low 5% range.

Summary: using the relationship between spot rates and forward rates, the 2-year forward rate starting in 1 year is approximately 5.26%, consistent with the provided answer.
