Your firm has semi-annual floating rate payment obligations for the next two years computed on a nominal value of $10M. You observe the following LIBOR spot rates: 6 months = 1.5%, 12 months = 2%, 18 months =2.2%, 24 months=2.5%. Find the swap fixed rate. How would you use the swap in order to hedge your position (floating rate payment obligations)?
Use the data from Q5, and given the following annualized interest rates: r(30) = 4.0%; r(120) = 4.5%; r(210) = 5.0%, and; r(300) = 5.5% sixty days after the initiation of the pay-fixed swap.
