- Ay 2. You have entered into a 4/7 FRA at a rate of 5.9%. There are 91 days in the FRA period. After three months, the FRA is now a 1/4 FRA. If the three-month Libor rate is 6.4%, and the six-month Libor rate is 7.2%, what is the current value of the FRA? Assume that the number of days in the first month is 30 and the notional amount of the FRA is $ 10,000,000. What is the FRA value?arrow_forwardAll rates in this question use semi-annual compounding. You observe a two year spot rate of 6.00%, and a two to three year forward rate of 6.50%. What is the three year spot rate?arrow_forwardWhat is the forward rate from 13 months to 17 months? You observe two spot rates. The 17 month spot rate is 13.50%, while the 13 month spot rate is 11.60%. All rates in this question are quoted with semi-annual compounding.arrow_forward
- Nonearrow_forwardWhat is the discounted value of payments of $120.00 made at the end of each month for 7.5 years if interest is 8% compounded monthly? The discounted value is S (Round the final answer to the nearest cent as needed. Round all intermediate values to six decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardScheduled payments of $890 due today, $525 due in 15 months, and $555 due in 33 months are to be replaced by a single equivalent amount paid at the focal date of 6 months from today. Money earns 11.1% compounded quarterly. Using P/Y=C/Y=4 and PMT=0, determine the economically equivalent value for each amount at the focal date and enter the values in the blanks. In your rough work, it may be helpful to draw a timeline with the appropriate focal date for the unknown amount. Round dollar values to 2 decimal places. Moving $890 due today to the focal date: A PV = N= A FV= Moving $525 due in 15 months to the focal date: N = A/ PV = Moving $555 due in 33 months to the focal date: N = A/ PV = The single amount at the focal date is = A FV= A FV = A/ A A/arrow_forward
- the following data calculate the continuously compounded zero rates for all the maturities ward rates for 6months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months by using boot strap Also calculate the one-year interest rate after 6 months and the 6-month interest rate 18 months. ..arrow_forwardAll rates in this question are quoted with semi-annual compounding.
