Ford has a 5 year $100m fixed rate loan with Citibank at 0.061 (annual rate). Ford now thinks rates will go lower and calls Goldman Sachs for a swap and receives a quote of 0.029 / 0.030 (annual rate) against 6m LIBOR flat and executes the swap. Assume at the next rate reset, 6m LIBOR is 0.018 (annual rate). What is Ford's net effective annual interest rate for that rate reset in decimal terms to three decimal places?

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
The formula below tells us how to obtain the maturity value on a simple discount loan if we are given the proceeds, the discount rate, and the term. M = T-dRT If a loan's annual simple discount rate is 3.34%, how many years would it take for the debt to double? (This is called the doublin time of a loan). Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a year. Hint: divide both sides of the equation by P. If M is twice as much as P, what should the fraction on the left-hand side equal?
You take out a loan for USD 800,000 for 5 years at an interest rate of 1.5% per quarter. The bank proposes an amortization system with equal quarterly principal payments and interest on balances. The exchange rate today COP/USD is 4,500 and the expected devaluation is 6% per year. At the end of year 2, you decide to make an extra payment of COP 200 Million. Draw cash flow, example figure 1
You borrow NOK (Norwegian krone) 100m at 10 percent for seven years, and you swap the loan into NZD (New Zealand dollar) at a spot rate of NOK/NZD 4 and the seven-year swap rates of 7 percent (NZD) and 8 percent (NOK). What are the payments on the loan, on the swap, and on the combination of them? Is there a gain if you could have borrowed NZD at 9 percent? Outline the cash flows in the amount and currency of both the inflows and outflows) associated with (i) the NOK loan, (ii) the swap (fixed interest at 7% in NZD for fixed interest at 8% in NOK), and the resulting combined net cash flows. These should include the principal exchanges upfront and at maturity as well as the flows of interest over the length of the swap.
