In an interest rate swap, a financial institution pays 10% per annum and receives three-month LIBOR in return on a notional principal of $100 million with payments being exchanged every three months. The swap has a remaining life of 14 months. The average of the bid and offer fixed rates currently being swapped for three-month LIBOR is 12% per annum for all maturities. The three-month LIBOR rate one month ago was 11.8% per annum. All rates are compounded quarterly. What is the value of the swap?

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "$2.263 million".

Explanation:

In such a floating rate bond, the swap may be viewed as a long positioning paired with such a short squeeze in some kind of a fixed price bond. An appropriate discount rate through quarterly compound growth is 12 percent per annum or 11.8 percent annually with continuous compounding.

The floating rate loan would be worth $100 million right during the next deposit.

The next floating part would be:

⇒  [tex]0.118\times 100\times 0.25[/tex]

⇒  [tex]2.95[/tex]

Therefore the floating rate value will be:

⇒  [tex]2.5e^{-0.1182\times 2/12} +2.5e^{-0.1182\times 5/12}+2.5e^{-0.1182\times 8/12}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]2.5e^{-0.1182\times 11/12}+102.5e^{-0.1182\times 14/12}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]98.678[/tex]

Now, Swap value:

⇒  [tex]100.941-98.678[/tex]

⇒  $[tex]$2.263 \ million[/tex]

We should consider the swap as either a realistic approach to forward rate deals as just an alternative solution.

The estimated value is set to:

⇒  [tex](2.93-2.5)e^{-0.118\times 2/12}+ (3.0.2.5)e^{-0.118\times 5/12}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]+(3.0-2.5)e^{-0.118\times 8/12}+(3.0-2.5)e^{-0.118\times 11/12}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]+(3.0-2.5)e^{-0.118\times 14/12}[/tex]

⇒  $[tex]2.263 \ million[/tex]
