Textbook Question
Chapter A, Problem 2P
Derivatives; interest rate swap; comprehensive
CMOS Chips is hedging a 20-year, $10 million, 7% bond payable with a 20-year interest rate swap and has designated the swap as a fair value hedge. The agreement called for CMOS to receive payment based on a 7% fixed interest rate on a notional amount of $10 million and to pay interest based on a floating interest rate tied to LIBOR. The contract calls for cash settlement of the net interest amount on December 31 of each year.
At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged bonds has increased by $100,000 because interest rates declined during the reporting period.
Required:
- 1. Does CMOS have an unrealized gain or loss on the derivative for the period? On the bonds? Will earnings increase or decrease due to the hedging arrangement? Why?
- 2. Suppose interest rates increased, rather than decreased, causing the fair value of both the derivative and of the hedged bonds to decrease by $100,000. Would CMOS have an unrealized gain or loss on the derivative for the period? On the bonds? Would earnings increase or decrease due to the hedging arrangement? Why?
- 3. Suppose the fair
value of the bonds at December 31, 2018, had increased by $110,000 rather than $100,000, with the additional increase in fair value due to investors’ perceptions that the creditworthiness of CMOS was improving. Would CMOS have an unrealized gain or loss on the derivative for the period? On the bonds? Would earnings increase or decrease due to the hedging arrangement? Why? - 4. Suppose the notional amount of the swap had been $12 million, rather than the $10 million principal amount of the bonds. As a result, at December 31, 2018, the swap’s fair value had increased by $120,000 rather than $100,000. Would CMOS have an unrealized gain or loss on the derivative for the period? On the bonds? Would earnings increase or decrease due to the hedging arrangement? Why?
- 5. Suppose BIOS Corporation is an investor, having purchased all $10 million of the bonds issued by CMOS as described in the original situation above. BIOS is hedging its investment, classified as available-for-sale, with a 20- year interest rate swap and has designated the swap as a fair value hedge. The agreement called for BIOS to make payment based on a 7% fixed interest rate on a notional amount of $10 million and to receive interest based on a floating interest rate tied to LIBOR. Would BIOS have an unrealized gain or loss on the derivative for the period due to interest rates having declined? On the bonds? Would earnings increase or decrease due to the hedging arrangement? Why?

! Required information On January 1, 2024, Avalanche Corporation borrowed $102, 000 from First Bank by issuing a two-year, 8% fixed-rate note with annual interest payments. The principal of the note is due on December 31, 2025. Avalanche wanted to hedge against declines in general interest rates, so it also entered into a two-year SOFR-based interest rate swap agreement on January 1, 2024, and designates it as a fair value hedge. Because the swap is entered at market rates, the fair value of the swap is zero at inception. The agreement called for the company to receive fixed interest at the current SOFR swap rate of 5% and pay floating interest tied to SOFR. This arrangement results in an effective variable rate on the note of SOFR +3%. The contract specifies that the floating rate resets each year on June 30 and December 31 for the net settlement that is due the following period. In other words, the net cash settlement is calculated using beginning of period rates. The SOFR rates on…
Amazon corporation and Microsoft corporation agree to enter an interest swap agreement with a nominal value of $1,000,000. The two companies enter into two-year interest rate swap contract with the specified nominal value of $1,000,000. Amazon corporation offers Microsoft corporation a fixed rate of 5% in exchange for receiving a floating rate of the LIBOR rate plus 1%. The current LIBOR rate at the beginning of the interest rate swap agreement is 4%. Critically evaluate interest rate swap agreements focusing on their significance and advantages in financial management.

Be sure to indicate whether it is an asset or a liability.arrow_forwardA firm enters into a five-year fixed for float agreement one year ago. Because one year has passed the swap has exactly four more years remaining. Since the reset date for the next floating payment is today, the next applicable floating rate can be identified in the table below. Payments from each firm occur at the end of each year. Assume that the firm agreed to pay a fixed rate of 6.45% (based on annual compounding) and to receive the floating rate. The notional amount of the swap is $12 million. Use the following current spot term structure for annual interest rates (all based on continuous compounding) to determine the value of the plain vanilla, fixed for float interest rate swap. Term (years) Spot Zero Annual Interest Rates (based on continuous compounding) 0.5 5% 1 5.5% 1.5 6% 2 6.5% 2.5 7% 3 8% 3.5 8.5% 4 9% 4.5 9.5% 5 10%arrow_forwardCurrent USD Interest rates are 7% per annum and AUD rates are 9% per annum, flat for all terms.

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.
