A)One year interest rate for next year :[1+i2]^2/[1+i1]^1      -1

                                =[1+.02]^2/[1+.01]^1    -1

                                =[1.02]^2/[1.01]^1        -1

                                 = 1.0404/1.01            - 1

                               = 1.0301-1

                              = .0301 or 3.01%

b)One year interest rate fir next next year = [1+y3]^3/[1+y2]^2     -1

                          =[1+.03]^3/[1+.02]^2     -1

                           =[1.03]^3/[1+.02]^2      -1

                           = 1.092727/1.0404    -1

                           = 1.0503-1

                          = .0503 or 5.03%
