2. Assume that you are a swap dealer and have just acted as a counterparty in an interest rate swap. The notional principal for the swap was $8 million and you are now obligated to make 6 annual payments of 4% interest. The floating rate that you will receive annually is LIBOR + 1%. The LIBOR is expected to be 2.6% for year 1, 2.8% for year 2, and 3.5% thereafter. Compute the net present value of your swap agreement at a discount rate of 6%?

Design a swap. see image attached.

You are thinking about entering into a 3 year plain vanilla swap with annual payments and a notional principal of $5,000,000. If you plan to pay the fixed rate on the swap what would you expect to pay if annual interest rates are listed below per annum with continuous compounding?

(b) Calculate the effective interest rate paid by Vri.com and Yadine in the following swap. Vri.com: Borrower rated AA that can borrow for three years at either 5% fixed or LIBOR plus 50 basis points. Borrower rate BBB that can borrow for three years at either 8% fixed or Yadine: LIBOR plus 150 basis points. 5%+1% Vri.com Yadine LIBOR +50 5% fixed LIBOR +

Explain in detail how a five year plain vanilla interest rate swap with a notional value of $1,000,000 and a price of 3% can be used: (Illustrate with diagrams) i) To speculate on changes in interest rates; ii) To s hedge against the risk of an increase in interest rates.

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.)

A company FORTIS, issued a 5 years loan with a gloating rate EURIBOR + 0.75%. It sets up a fixed / variable swap with a bank. The quotation of the swap is as follows: 5-year swap: EURIBOR /3.75%. What is the cost of borrowing of this company after swap? a. 0.75%b. 4.5%c. EURIBOR + 4.5%d. None of the above

Some time ago a swap dealer entered into a Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) that has a notional value of $25,000,000. The swap dealer agreed to pay 4.96% based on quarterly compounding and receive Libor. Libor zero rates (based on continuous compounding are given below. a. What is the value of the FRA to the swap dealer assuming it begins in 9 months and lasts for 3 months? + b.
