Question
4. You have an outstanding fixed-for-fixed NOK/NZD swap for NOK 100m, based on a historic sport rate of NOK/NZD 4 and initial seven-year swap rates of 7% (NZD) and 8% (NOK). The swap now has three years to go, and the current rate at NOK/NZD 4.5, 6 percent (NZD three years) and 5 percent (NOK three years). What is the market value of the swap contract? Answer provided, what does the 'alpha' represent in the below solution??: Please provide answer in handwritten formula
NZD leg: 25m x [1+ (0.07 -0.06 ) x a( 6%, 3)] = 25m x [1 + (0.01 x 2.666)] = 25m x 1.02666 =
NZD 25,666,500 converted into NOK using current NOK/NZD rate should be 25,666,500 x 4.5
= NOK 115,499,250
NOK leg: 100m x [1+ (0.08 -0.05) x a(5%, 3)] = 100m x [1 + (0.03 x 2.724)] = 100m x 0.91828 =
NOK 91,828,000
V=91,828,000-115,499,250 = -23,671,250 NOK
