The swap has a notional principal amount of $200 million and calls for Commercial Bank A to make annual floating interest rate payment of LIBOR minus 0.75% to Savings Bank B.

Assume that a lender offers a 30-year, $153,000 adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) with the following terms: Initial interest rate = 7.5 percent Index = one-year Treasuries Payments reset each year Margin = 2 percent Interest rate cap = 1 percent annually; 3 percent lifetime Discount points = 2 percent Fully amortizing; however, negative amortization allowed if interest rate caps reached Based on estimated forward rates, the index to which the ARM is tied is forecasted as follows: Beginning of year (BOY) 2 = 7 percent; (BOY) 3 = 8.5 percent; (BOY) 4 = 9.5 percent; (BOY) 5 = 11 percent. Required: a. Compute the payments and loan balances for the ARM for the five-year period. b. Compute the yield for the ARM for the five-year period. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B Compute the payments and loan balances for the ARM for the five-year period.

A plain vanilla 2-year interest rate swap with annual payments has a notional principal of $1 million. 5 month(s) into the swap, the term structure of interest rates is flat at 4.70%.

Company A borrows $2 million at Libor + 3% for five years and Company B takes a $2 million five-year loan at a fixed 7% interest rate. The two companies enters into an interest rate swap arrangement, where Company A will pay Company B a fixed 6% interest rate on a notional $2 million and Company B will pay Company A Libor + 2% on a notional $2 million. What has been accomplished? Question 16 options: Both companies have been able to link the payment to Libor Company A has achieved payments mirroring a fixed interest rate while Company B will be paying a floating rate Company A has achieved payments mirroring a floating interest rate while Company B has achieved a fixed rate Both companies will be paying the same interest rate for the duration of the loan
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.

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%.
