Answer a) and b) Problem 3: Interest Swap Companies A and B have been offered the following rates per annum on a $50 million five-year loan: Company A Company B Floating LIBOR +0.7% LIBOR +1.0% Fixed 6.0% 7.5% Company A requires a floating-rate loan and company B requires a fixed-rate loan. a) Design a swap that will net a bank, acting as an intermediary, 30 basis points (0.3%) per annum and that is equally attractive to the two companies. Illustrate the swap with a diagram. b) Determine the effective financing costs for A and B.
The time from acceptance to maturity on a $1,000,000 banker's acceptance is 120 days. The importer's bank's acceptance commission is 1.75 percent and the market rate for 120-day B/As is 5.75 percent. What amount will the exporter receive if he holds the B/A until maturity? If he discounts the B/A with the importer's bank? Also determine the bond equivalent yield the importer's bank will earn from discounting the B/A with the exporter. If the exporter's opportunity cost of capital is 11 percent, should he discount the B/A or hold it to maturity? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Maturity value" to 2 decimal places. Round "Bond equivalent yield" as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Amount the exporter will receive at maturity Amount the exporter will receive if discounted Bond equivalent yield Should he discount the B/A or hold it to maturity? Discount the B/A %
You can borrow CAD (Canadian dollar) at 8 percent, which is 2 percent above the swap rate, or at CAD Libor + 1 percent. If you want to borrow at a fixed-rate, what is the best way: direct, or synthetic (that is, using a floating-rate loan and a swap)? Direct borrowing would be to borrow at a fixed rate of 8 percent. Synthetic fixed-rate cad borrowing would be to borrow CAD at a floating rate of Libor + 1 percent and arrange a swap where you pay fixed 6 percent CAD in exchange for receiving CAD Libor.
H3. A 2-year swap based on LIBOR is entered into on 30/6/2010 with current spot 3 month LIBOR at 0.54%. The swap is based on a notional principal of $100m What is the swap rate? Please show proper step by step calculation
5. Suppose you have a 2.5-year remaining on an interest rate swap with a notional principal of $10,000, 000 between Company A and Company B. Company A pays fixed rate and Company B pays the float rate. Fixed and float payments are exchanged every year and the last payment was exchanged 6 months ago. The fixed rate is 3.5% per annum, and the floating 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 is 3.50%. Calculate the present value of the fixed and floating legs of the swap, and determine the swap's net present value from Company A's perspective. Assume annual compounding for discounting.
Netflix company has entered into a plain vanilla interest rate swap on $2,500,000 notional principal. The company pays fixed rate of 7.0% on payments that occur at 60-day intervals. Six payments remain with the next one due in exactly 60 days. On the other side of the swap, the company receives payments based on the LIBOR rate. Describe the transaction that occurs between the company and the dealer at the end of the first period if the appropriate LIBOR rate is 8.5%.
Alpha and Beta Companies can borrow for a five - year term at the following rates: Alpha Beta Moody's credit rating Aa Baa Fixed - rate borrowing cost 10.3% 12.5% Floating - rate borrowing cost LIBOR LIBOR + 1.1% If there is a swap bank involved and earns 20% of the swap's total benefit. Alpha wants to borrow through floating debts and desires 70% of the total benefit from the swap, and Beta takes the rest of the swap benefit. What is the all-in-cost for Beta through the swap? (if your answer is 10.1%, just enter "10.1").
A 2-year swap based on LIBOR is entered into on 30/6/2010 with current spot 3 month LIBOR at 0.54%. The swap is based on a notional principal of $100m What is the swap rate?
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? (eg 5.10% = 0.051)
15. The table below presents the costs of borrowing for Caterpillar and Tesla, and the a Swap Bank quote against LIBOR. Caterpillar would like to get a $5,000,000.00 floating rate loan. Tesla would like to get a $5,000,000.00 fixed rate loan. How much can Tesla save each year by entering a swap agreement? (a) $37,000 (b) $9,500 (c) $8,000 (d) $27,500 Fixed-Rate Borrowing Cost Floating-Rate Borrowing Cost Caterpillar Tesla 3.00 6.50 LIBOR LIBOR +2.60 Swap Bank Quote Bid Ask 3.19% 3.74% (e) None of the above
