A $100,000 interest rate swap has a remaining life of 10 months. Under the terms of the swap, six-month LIBOR is exchanged for 4% per annum (compounded semi-annually). Six-month LIBOR forward rates for all maturities are 3.3% (compounded semi-annually). The six-month LIBOR rate was 2.6% two months ago. The risk free rate is 2.7% (cont. comp) for all maturities. What is the value of the swap to the party paying floating? (Required precision: 0.01 +/- 1)
Suppose that a bank has agreed to the following terms of an interest rate swap:- The notional principal is CAD 300 million and the remaining life of the swap is 11 months.- The bank pays 8% per annum, and receives three-month LIBOR.- Payments are exchanged every three months.- The swap (fixed) rate is 11% per annum for all maturities.- The three-month LIBOR rate a month ago was 12.5% per annum. All rates are compounded quarterly. Estimate the value of the swap using a) a bond-price valuation method, and b) a FRAs-based method?
Suppose you have a 2.5-year remaining on an interest rate swap with a notionalprincipal of $10, 000, 000 between Company A and Company B. Company A pays fixed rateand Company B pays the float rate. Fixed and float payments are exchanged every year andthe last payment was exchanged 6 months ago. The fixed rate is 3.5% per annum, and thefloating rate is tied to the annual LIBOR. The previous 1-year LIBOR rate, set 6 months ago,is 2.75%, 6 month LIBOR is 3.25%. the 1.5-year LIBOR is 3.25%, and the 2.5-year LIBOR is3.50%.Calculate the present value of the fixed and floating legs of the swap, and determine the swap’snet present value from Company A’s perspective. Assume annual compounding for discounting.
Consider a $15 million interest-rate swap in which cash flows based on a fixed rate of 5% (with semi-annual compounding) are exchanged for 6-month LIBOR. The swap has a remaining life of 9 months. The 6-month LIBOR that was observed three months ago was 4.85% (with semi-annual compounding). The forward LIBOR for the period between 3 months and 9 months (from today) is 6.14% (with semi-annual compounding). The risk-free rates for 3 months and 9 months are 5.3% and 5.8%, respectively, with continuous compounding. Calculate the value of the swap to the party receiving the fixed rate.
A semi-annual pay interest rate swap where the fixed rate is 5.00% (with semi-annual compounding) has a remaining life of nine months. The six-month LIBOR rate observed three months ago was 4.85% with semi-annual compounding. Today’s three and nine month LIBOR rates are 5.3% and 5.8% (continuously compounded) respectively. From this it can be calculated that the forward LIBOR rate for the period between three- and nine-months is 6.14% with semi-annual compounding. If the swap has a principal value of $15,000,000, what is the value of the swap to the party receiving a fixed rate of interest? Assume OIS rates are the same as LIBOR rates.

If the swap has a principal value of $15,000,000, what is the value of the swap to the party receiving a fixed rate of interest? Assume OIS rates are the same as LIBOR rates. Please show how you get the floating payments
The 9-month LIBOR rate is 5%, and the 6-month LIBOR rate is 4%, on the basis of continuous compounding and 365 days a year. The 3-month Eurodollar futures price quote for a contract with a delivery date in 6 months should be: a. 93.0000 b. 92.9384 c. 93.0351
Consider a $10,000,000 1-year quarterly-pay swap with a fixed rate of 4.5% and a floating rate of 90-day LondonInterbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 150 basis points. 90-day LIBOR is currently 3% and the current forward ratesfor the next four quarters are 3.2%, 3.6%, 3.8%, and 4%. If these rates are actually realized, at the second quarterlysettlement date, the fixed-rate payer in the swap will:a. receive a payment of $5,000b. receive a payment of $5,000c. receive a payment of $7,500d. neither make nor receive a payment
Consider a one-year interest rate swap with semi-annual payments, based on 30/360 day count convention. The term structure of LIBOR spot rates is given as follows: 6-month LIBOR at 7.2%, and 12-month LIBOR at 8.0%. What is the annualized fixed rate on the swap? A. 7.42%. B. 7.93% C. 7.84%. D. 7.56%.
Continuously compounded LIBOR rates per annum for 6, 12, and 18-months are given in the table below. The 2-year swap rate is 3% per annum with payments made semiannually. What is the 2-year LIBOR/swap zero rate for 2 years? Use LIBOR discounting 0.5 - 2.0% 1.0 - 2.4% 1.5 - 2.6% 2.0 - ?
An interest rate swap has three years of remaining life. Payments are exchanged annually. Interest at 3% is paid and 12-month LIBOR is received. An exchange of payments has just taken place. The one-year, two-year, and three-year LIBOR/swap zero rates are 2%, 3%, and 4% with continuous compounding. What is the value of the swap as a percentage of the principal when LIBOR discounting is used assuming that the principal is $100? (Note: You are expected to use continuous compounding/discounting. If you use discrete discounting the answer will be close) a. None of the other answers provided is correct. b. 2.88% c. 1.05% d. 0.00% e. 1.00%
Your firm has semi-annual floating rate payment obligations for the next two years computed on a nominal value of $10M. You observe the following LIBOR spot rates: 6 months = 1.5%, 12 months = 2%, 18 months =2.2%, 24 months=2.5%. Find the swap fixed rate. How would you use the swap in order to hedge your position (floating rate payment obligations)?
