Janutis Co. has just issued fixed rate debt at 10 percent. Yet it prefers to convert its financing to incur a floating rate on its debt. It engages in an interest rate swap in which it swaps variable rate payments of LIBOR plus 1 percent inexchange for payments of 10 percent. The interest rates are applied to an amount that represents the principal from its recent debt issue in order to determine the interest payments due at the end of each year for the next three years. Janutis Co. expects that the LIBOR will be 9 percent at the end of the first year, 8.5 percent at the end of the second year, and 7 percent at the endof the third year. Determine the financing rate that Janutis Co. expects to pay on its debt after considering the effect of the interest rate swap.

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?
A company can borrow funds at LIBOR minus 50 basis points. There is a swap available where one side pays 7% and the other side pays LIBOR-1%. The company is concerned that interest rates will increase and, thus, wants to change the nature of its liability from paying floating to paying fixed rate. What rate can the company pay on its lability after it engages in the swap?
Yosemite Corporation has an outstanding debt of $10.03 million on which it pays a 5 percent fixed interest rate annually. Yosemite just made its annual interest payment and has three years remaining until maturity. Yosemite believes that interest rates will fall over the next three years and that floating-rate debt will allow it to reduce its overall borrowing costs. A bank offers Yosemite a three-year interest rate swap with annual payments in which Yosemite will pay LIBOR, currently at 4.2 percent, and receive a 3.7 percent fixed rate on $10.03 million notional principal. Suppose that LIBOR turns out to be 3.6 percent in one year and 3.3 percent in two years. Including Interest payments on Yosemite's outstanding debt and payments on the swap, what will be Yosemite's net interest payments for the next three years? Note: Negative values should be indicated by parentheses. Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Net Interest Payments Year 11 $ (180,540) Year 21 $ (120,360) Year 3 $…

Your company has arranged a revolving credit agreement for up to $71 million at an interest rate of 1.40 percent per quarter. The agreement also requires your company to maintain a compensating balance of 5 percent of the unused portion of the credit line, to be deposited in a noninterest-bearing account. Your company's short-term investment account at the same bank pays an interest rate of .54 per quarter. What is the effective annual interest rate if your company borrows $36 million for one year?
A bank is considering using a “three against six” $2,000,000 FRA to cover its potential loss. The purpose of the FRA is to cover the interest rate risk caused by the maturity mismatch from having made a six-month Eurodollar loan and having accepted a three-month Eurodollar deposit. The agreement rate with the buyer is 4.6%. There are actually 92 days in the three-month FRA period. Which one of following statements is correct? Group of answer choices To hedge the risk caused by maturity mismatch, the bank could take the buyer’s position if it uses the Euro-Dollar Interest Rate Futures instead. To hedge the loss caused by maturity mismatch, the bank should be a seller of the FRA. If the settlement rate is 4.8% three months from today, then the buyer pays the seller. If the settlement rate is 4.8% three months from today, then the FRA is worth $1009.84 Without the FRA, the bank will lose if the market interest rate drops at the end of three months.
