The coupon rate of a floating note that makes payments in June and December is expressed as six-month MMR + 50 bps. Assuming that the sixth-month MMR is 4% at the end of June 2021 and 3% at the end of December 2021, what is the interest rate that applies to the payment due in December 2021. Please input the answer as percentages (for example, if the answer is 14.56%, put in "14.56").
The graph (attached) depicts yield curves for 5 November 2021, 5 November, 2022, and 5 November, 2019. The yield rates are given for each of those in the graph (attached).
