Summary Introduction
To compute:The up-front payment that is required to make counterparty to take the other side of the swap. Assuming notional principal is $10 million.
Introduction:
Interest rate swap: Swapping is nothing exchange of a thing for another thing. When two parties agree that they will exchange one stream of interest payments for another in a given set of the period, the interest rate has to be considered as an interest swap rate.

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.)
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 7% 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 7%. What up-front payment will be required to induce a counterparty to take the other side of this swap? Assume notional principal is $10 million.
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.

- 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?arrow_forwardSuppose 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.

- Consider a 4-year 5% bond swap in euros for 1 million notional value. In other words, there will be three interest payments followed by a final payment of interest plus principal, all made in euros. Assume that the appropriate discount rate is 9% and the spot rate is 1.05 USD/EUR when answering the following questions related to possible swap contracts. a. What is the net present value of the payments described above (in euros)? b. If you want to offset the euro payments with a single USD payment at the end of year two, what is the appropriate amount? (This could be described as a bullet repayment.) c. Alternatively, if you want to offset the euro payments with four equal USD payments at the end of each year, what is the appropriate amount?

- 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.)arrow_forwardYou 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 + ?)arrow_forwardConsider 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 paymentarrow_forward
