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
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.
X and Y are offered the rates (per annum) below on a $5 million 10-year investment. X needs fixed rate and Y needs floating rate investment. fixed(%) float(%) X 8.0 libor Y 8.8 libor In a swap with a broker who nets 0.2% and is equally attractive to X and Y, X enters a swap with the broker that (a) pays fixed rate 8.3% (b) pays fixed rate 8.5% (c) receives fixed rate 8.3% (d) receives fixed rate 8.5% (e) receives libor
Company X and Company Y have been offered for the following rates per annum on a RM30 million 5-year loan. Company X Company Y Fixed rate 12.5% 12.5% Floating rate 3-month KLIBOR+2% 3-month KLIBOR + 2.75% Preferred loan Fixed rate Floating rate You work for KL Bank, and thinks that the quoted rate are arbitrageable by means of an interest rate swap. Design a fixed-for-floating interest rate swap. Show the percentage gain to each party, assuming that the mispricing is split equally among three parties.
Company A can borrow money at a fixed rate of 9 percent or a variable rate set at prime plus 1 percent. Company B can borrow money at a variable rate of prime plus 2 percent or a fixed rate of 8.25 percent. Company A prefers a fixed rate and company B prefers a variable rate. A swap dealer can bring them together for a commission of 1% on the swap deal. a) Compute the potential gain for the concerned parties through the swap deal? b) Show a swapping arrangement, ensuring that both Company A and B are better off and the swap dealer gets the 1% cut.
An investor holds the fixed-payer position in a 7.44%/LIBOR swap with $1M notional principal, semi-annual payments, and exactly one-year remaining. What is the value of the existing fixed-payer position, if the swap rate for new one-year swaps with matching notional principal is 3.57%/LIBOR
Company A can borrow money at a fixed rate of 9 percent or a variable rate set at prime plus 1 percent. Company B can borrow money at a variable rate of prime plus 2 percent or a fixed rate of 8.25 percent. Company A prefers a fixed rate and company B prefers a variable rate. 1. Compute the potential gain for the concerned parties through the swap deal.
At the present time one can enter five-year swaps that exchange LIBOR for 8%. An off-market swap would be defined as a swap of LIBOR for a rate other than 8%. For example, a firm with a 10% coupon debt outstanding might like to convert to synthetic floating-rate debt by entering a swap in which it pays LIBOR and receives a fixed rate of 10%. What up-front payment will be required to induce a counterparty to take the other side of the swap? Assume a notional principal of $10million. Use 8% as discount rate for all horizons.
Company A and B have been offered the following rates per annum on a £50 million, 10 - year loan. Company A borrows at a fixed rate of 6% and floating rate of (LIBOR + 0.4)%. Company B borrows at a fixed rate of 7% and a floating rate of (LIBOR + 0.6)%. a) Company A requires a floating rate loan, whereas company B requires a fixed rate loan. In which market does company A have a comparative advantage? Design at least two different swaps that will give a bank, acting as an intermediary 0.6% p.a. and that will appear equally attractive to both companies. Explain how to achieve this, using diagrams and text. b) Design a Swap that is the most beneficial to company A. Explain using text and diagram. c) Suppose that company A has an asset worth £10 million yielding an interest of 7%. Suppose that A is a company based in Japan. Explain how it can use a currency swap to transform the asset to an asset paying Yen (currency in Japan).
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.
Suppose that at the present time, one can enter 5-year swaps that exchange LIBOR for 5%. An off-market swap would then be defined as a swap of LIBOR for a fixed rate other than 5%. For example, a firm with 11% coupon debt outstanding might like to convert to synthetic floating-rate debt by entering a swap in which it pays LIBOR and receives a fixed rate of 11%. What up-front payment will be required to induce a counterparty to take the other side of this swap? Assume notional principal is $95 million. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
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%
