You are trying to buy an interest rate swap that will give you floating LIBOR interest for the next 3 years. The notional principal is $100,000 and the settlement is annual. If the annual LIBOR forward rates for the next three years are such that f0,1 = 3%, f1,2 = 3.5% and f2,3 = 4% (fx,y = forward rates between year x and y), determine the fixed rate of this interest rate swap. (Note: Fixed rate in an interest rate swap is a choice variable as in this case. You can buy an interest rate swap as a speculator without having any assets.)

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
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?
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
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 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.
You purchased an interest rate swap of which notional principal is $100,000,000 that matures in 10 years (Annual settlement, annuity in arrears) 3 years ago. Fixed rate was set to be 4% and the floating rate was set to be LIBOR. Today, the benchmark 1-year LIBOR is 2.5% (use 2.5% instead of 2.493%) and the relevant 7-year yield is 2%. If you want to exit this swap, you have to convince the swap seller (the other party) by offering some payment. What is the minimum amount of such payment you need to offer to exit this swap? (Ignore swap dealers. In reality, it will be very hard to exit the swap because the ones who want to exit the swap must be on the losing side. The ones on the winning side are unlikely to let the others go. You may use the following annuity formula). ?? = ∑ ? (1 + ?) ? ? ?=1 = ? ∗ [ 1 − 1 (1 + ?)
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.
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.
If expected one-year rates over the next five years are: 3%, 4%, 5%, 4% and 3% and the notional principle is $1million, what fixed rate would you swap for floating rates? Prove that you’re indifferent after 2 years between the fixed and floating positions if interest rates don’t change. Show who wins and how much after five years if floating rates rise after two years by 1% (so rates are 3%, 4%, 6%, 5% and 4%).
Let’s say we have a situation where all 12-month LIBOR forward rates at 8% per annum with annual compounding. All cap volatilities are 16%. Estimate the difference between the way a sophisticated trader and an unsophisticated trader would value a LIBOR-in-arrears swap where payments are made annually and the life of the swap is 5 years and 10 years. Also, assume a notional principal of $1 million and no difference between the risk-free discount rate and LIBOR rates.
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
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?
