Suppose the 1-year and 2-year OIS rates are 2% and 4%, respectively. Consider an OIS swap with two years to maturity where you receive 3% and pay the floating reference rate with principal 1 million. If the payments are made annually with annual compounding the value of the swap is (a)−558.4 (b)−188.5 (c) 0 (d) 188.5 (e) 558.4
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
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.
An investor enters into a 2-year swap agreement to swap euros at $1.32 per euro. Soon after the swap is created forward prices rise and the new swap price on a similar swap is $1.45. If dollar denominated interest rates are 4.0% and 4.5% on 1- and 2-year zero coupon government bonds, respectively, what is the gain to be made from unwrapping the original swap agreement?
If you are the floating-rate payer in an interest rate swap, paying LIBOR + 40bp with a notional value of $1,000,000 and LIBOR turns out to be 0.72%, 0.83%, 0.91% and 1.03% at the four annual payment dates, what are your dollar payment obligations at those dates?
Current USD Interest rates are 7% per annum and AUD rates are 9% per annum, flat for all terms. Current value of AUD is 0.62 USD. Under a FX swap agreement, a financial institution pays 8% per annum in AUD and receives 4% per annum in USD. Notional principals are 12 Million USD and 20 Million AUD. Payments are exchanged every year, with one exchange having just taken place. The swap will last 5 more years. What is the value of the swap to the financial institution?

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?
