URGENT help with finance homework

Hey, sorry if this seems like an easy question but its my first time taking a finance class.

  1. It is currently date 0. The 1 year rate of interest, r1, is 4%, and the 2 year rate of interest, r2, is 6% per year. The forward rate (f1,2) is 8.04%. What portfolio (i.e. what combination of buying and selling different maturity zero coupon bonds) would the firm use to borrow at this reinvestment rate between dates 1 and 2?

Thanks!
