Given a spot rate of 6.666666667% and an annual interest rate of 7%, the forward rate on a half-yearly basis can be calculated. The spot rate and annual interest rate must be used to determine the implied forward rate for a half-year time period. Calculating the forward rate allows the interest rate to be determined for a specific time period rather than annually.
