Assume oat forward prices over the next 3 years are $2.30, $2.40, and $2.33, respectively. Effective annual interest rates over the same period are 5.5%, 5.8%, and 6.1%. What is the 3-year swap price if the delivery in year 1 is 100,000 bushels, the delivery in year 2 is 125,000 bushels and the delivery in year 3 is 175,000 bushels?

Define the stated (quoted) or nominal rate INOM as well as the periodic rate IPER. Will the future value be larger or smaller if we compound an initial amount more often than annually—for example, every 6 months, or semiannually—holding the stated interest rate constant? Why? What is the future value of $100 after 5 years under 12% annual compounding? Semiannual compounding? Quarterly compounding? Monthly compounding? Daily compounding? What is the effective annual rate (EAR or EFF%)? What is the EFF% for a nominal rate of 12%, compounded semiannually? Compounded quarterly? Compounded monthly? Compounded daily?
Suppose that oil forward prices for 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years are $109, $128, and $134 per barrel. The 1-year effective annual interest rate is 3.9%, the 2-year interest rate is 4.6%, and the 3-year interest rate is 4.9%. What is the fixed per-barrel price in a 3-year swap that calls for delivery of 4 barrels of oil at the end of the first year, barrels the second year, and 2 barrels the third year? Answers: a. $111.42 b. $154.43 c $112.66 d.$123.23 e. $120.46
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.
Consider a 1-year semi-annually paid interest rate swap, the notional is £1,000,000, the swap rate is 3.0%, the floating rate is GM LIBOR + 1%. On the market, the 6M LIBOR spot and its 6-month maturity forward are 3.0% and 1.0%, respectively. Sketch the cash-flow diagram of the fixed-leg.
Suppose the 1-year and 2-year OIS rates are 2% and 4%, respectively. Consider an OISswap with two years to maturity where you receive 3% and pay the floating reference ratewith principal 1 million. If the payments are made annually with annual compounding, what is the value of the swap

Let's imagine that the OIS rates for one year and two years are 2% and 4% respectively. Now, let's examine an OIS swap set to mature in two years, where you receive a fixed rate of 3% and pay the floating reference rate. The principal amount involved is 1 million. If payments are made annually with annual compounding, what is the value of the swap? (a)−558.4 (b) −188.5 (c) 0 (d)188.5 (e) 558.4
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
1. Suppose a financial asset, ABC, is the underlying asset for a futures contract with settlement of 6 months from now. You know the following about this financial asset and futures contract in the cash market ABC is selling for $80; ABC pays $8 per year in two semiannual payments of $4, and the next semiannual payment is due exactly 6 months from now; and the current 6month interest rate at which funds can be loaned or borrowed is 6%. a) Compute for the profit for the transaction? b) What is the theoretical (or equilibrium) futures price? c) What action would you take if the futures price is $837 d) What action would you take if the futures price is $76?

Suppose that you trade a forward contract today that matures after one year. The forward price is $105 and the simple interest rate is 7 percent per year. If after six months from today, the spot price is going to be $125 and the value of the forward contract is $20, the arbitrage profit that you can make today by trading one forward contract and other securities is?
Suppose the three-year swap rate for a swap with annual payments is 3.2% and that OIS (risk-free) zero rates for maturities of one, two and three years are 2.5%, 2.7% and 2.9% respectively. What is the value of a three-year swap where 4% is received and TSOFR is paid on a principal of $100 million? All rates are annually compounded.
A speculator is considering the purchase of a 6-month Swiss franc call option on 50,000 francs with a strike price of $1.0885/SFr The premium is $0.0075/Sfr. The spot price is $1.0822/Sfr and the 60-day forward rate is $1.0880/SFr. The speculator believes the Franc will appreciate to $1.0994/Sfr over the next six months. What is the profit or loss if the franc appreciates only to the forward rate at the end of the 6 months? A. $170 B. -$235 C. $450 D -$375
