(mark-to-market) You enter a long position in a € future contract with the size of €125,000 today. The futures expire in 90 days. The interest rates are iS = 3.9% and i€ = 3.9%. The current spot rate is $1.38/€. Assume 360 days a year. If the spot rate is $1.43/€ the next day and interest rates remain the same, your profit or loss for this day is S _. (Keep the sign and two decimal places.)
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.

Suppose that a bank has agreed to the following terms of an interest rate swap: - The notional principal is CAD 300 million and the remaining life of the swap is 11 months. - The bank pays 8% per annum, and receives three-month LIBOR. - Payments are exchanged every three months. - The swap (fixed) rate is 11% per annum for all maturities. - The three-month LIBOR rate a month ago was 12.5% per annum. All rates are compounded quarterly. Estimate the value of the swap using a) a bond-price valuation method, and b) a FRAS-based method?
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)
