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?
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%.
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.

Assume that Caterpillar’s return on investments is 2.50% per annum for the next four years. Next, suppose that Caterpillar and UBS (a financial institution) enter the following four year interest rate swap: Catepillar pays X% per annum fixed to UBS and receives LIBOR from UBS. All payments are made annually. Catepillar’s net return after it enters the swap is (LIBOR + 0.75%) per annum. In this case, Catepillar transforms ___________ into __________ and X equals to ________.a. Floating Rate Investment; Fixed Rate Investment; 1.75%b. Fixed Rate Investment; Floating Rate Investment; 3.25% c. Floating Rate Liability; Fixed Rate Liability; 3.25%d. Fixed Rate Investment; Floating Rate Investment; 3.50%e.

OIS rates are 3.4% for all maturities. What is the value of an OIS swap with two years to maturity where 3% is received and the floating reference rate is paid. Assume annual compounding, annual payments, and $100 million principal.
An interest rate swap has three years of remaining life. Payments are exchanged annually. Interest at 5% 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 4%, 5% and 6%. All rates are annually compounded. What is the value of the swap as a percentage of the principal ($100) when OIS and LIBOR rates are the same? (
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
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
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%
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.
