Calculate the price of an option that caps the three-month rate, starting in 15 months' time, at 13% (quoted with quarterly compounding) on a principal amount of $1,00. The forward interest rate for the period in question is 12% per annum (quoted with quarterly compounding), the 18-month risk-free interest rate (continuously compounded) is 11.5% per annum, and the volatility of the forward rate is 12% per annum.

The spot price of oil is $40 per barrel and the cost of storing a barrel of oil for one year is $3.3, payable at the end of the year. The risk-free interest rate is 2.6% per annum, continuously compounded. What is an upper bound for the one-year futures price of oil? Your answer should be correct to one decimal place. Assume there are no transaction costs involved in arbitraging over-priced futures contracts.
A ten-year floating-rate note (FRN) has coupons referenced to 3-month pound LIBOR, and pays coupon interest quarterly. Assume that the current 3-month LIBOR is 4 percent. If the risk premium above LIBOR that the issuer must pay is 12.5 basis points, the next period's coupon payment on a £1,000 face value FRN will be Group of answer choices £31.25. £82.50. £165.00. £10.31.
Suppose that 6 - month, 12-month, 18 - month, 24 month, and 30 - month zero rates are 4%, 4.2%, 4.4%, 4.6%, and 4.6% per annum with continuous compounding respectively.

Suppose you have a 2.5-year remaining on an interest rate swap with a notionalprincipal of $10, 000, 000 between Company A and Company B. Company A pays fixed rateand Company B pays the float rate. Fixed and float payments are exchanged every year andthe last payment was exchanged 6 months ago. The fixed rate is 3.5% per annum, and thefloating rate is tied to the annual LIBOR. The previous 1-year LIBOR rate, set 6 months ago,is 2.75%, 6 month LIBOR is 3.25%. the 1.5-year LIBOR is 3.25%, and the 2.5-year LIBOR is3.50%.Calculate the present value of the fixed and floating legs of the swap, and determine the swap’snet present value from Company A’s perspective. Assume annual compounding for discounting.
The term structure of interest rates is as follows: Maturity Spot Rate / 14% 212%/. What is the forward rate for one year, one year from now (f 1.1)? 2. If the forward rate for two years, one year from now (12. 1) is equal to 9%, then what is. the spot rate with maturity 3 years (13)?
Suppose the spot rates for the next three years are 4.2%, 4.6% and 4.8% respectively. The one year forward rates are 4.2%, 5.0015% and 5.2012%, respectively as well. Using a value of 10% for the volatility of the one year forward rate, construct a three-year binomial interest rate tree with one year forward rates.
