Suppose that you have entered into a 3-year swap contract with the Swap desk at swap out your New Zealand dollar debt into fixed-rate Swiss francs debt. It involves exchanging interest at 4.8% per annum on NZD 25 million for interest at 6.2% per annum on Swiss francs 20 million twice a year. Assume that 2 years have passed since you entered into the transaction. If the swap were negotiated today, the interest rates exchanged would be 5.2% per annum for NZD and 7% per annum for CHF.

Company A and B has been offered the following rates per annum on a £10 million 5 - year loan. Company Fixed (%) Floating (%) A 5 LIBOR + 1.2 B 6 LIBOR + 0.3 Company A requires a floating rate loan, whereas company B requires a fixed rate loan. In which market does company A have a comparative advantage? Design a swap that will give a bank, acting as an intermediary 0.5% p.a. and that will appear equally attractive to both companies. Explain how to achieve this, using diagrams and text. (15 Marks) (Please answer without use of excel)

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%.
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.
