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 If the settlement rate is 4.8% three months from today, then the buyer pays the seller. To hedge the loss caused by maturity mismatch, the bank should be a seller of the FRA. Without the FRA, the bank will lose if the market interest rate drops at the end of three months. If the settlement rate is 4.8% three months from today, then the FRA is worth $1009.84 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…

Consider the following countinuous compunding LIBOR spot rates: 3M (2,2% pa.), 6M (2,3% pa.), 9M (2,6% pa.), 12M (3% pa.). Find a simple compunding rate pa. (interest compounded each 4M) which is equivalent to forward rate pa (under countinuous compunding for period starting from the end of 6M till the end of 9M).
Required: A bank sells a "three against six" $3,000,000 FRA for a three-month period beginning three months from today and ending six months from today. The purpose of the FRA is to cover the interest rate risk caused by the maturity mismatch from having made a three-month Eurodollar loan and having accepted a six-month Eurodollar deposit. The agreement rate with the buyer is 5.57 percent. There are actually 92 days in the three-month FRA period. Assume that three months from today the settlement rate is 4.910 percent. Determine how much the FRA is worth and who pays who-the buyer pays the seller, or the seller pays the buyer. Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 6 decimal places. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Assume 360 days in a year. the absolute value of the FRA
A $30,000,000 interest rate swap has a 12-month maturity, and was entered 2 months ago. This means the swap has a remaining life of 10 months. The swap pays interest quarterly, and it stipulates that the fixed rate is 4.5%, while the floating rate is the 3-month LIBOR +1%. Two months ago, when the swap was entered, 3-month LIBOR was 2.9%. The 3-month LIBOR forward rates and continuous time zero-coupon prices are given in a table below. Use the zero coupon prices to discount cash-flows. 3-month LIBOR Forward Rates Term rate 1x4 2.90% 2x5 2.85% 3x6 2.84% 4x7 2.88% 5x8 2.90% 6x9 2.91% 7x10 2.92% 8x11 2.92% 9x12 2.92% Zero-Coupon prices T (month) Price 1 0.9976 2 0.9953 3 0.9929 4 0.9904 5 0.988 6 0.9856 7 0.9831 8 0.9807 9 0.9783 10 0.9761 11 0.9737 12 0.9712 (Important hint: since the swap was entered 2 months ago, and makes quarterly payments, in the remaining 10 months, payments should be expected in 1 month, 4 months, 7 months and 10 months.
