You are an analyst in the treasury department of the Maritime Bank (MB). One of your corporate customers is interested in a US$100 million loan for two years. Your bank decides to fund the loan from a yen loan. Your bank agrees to borrow ¥12.8 billion at an interest rate of 1.2 percent, paid semiannually, for a period of two years. It then enters into a two-year yen/dollar swap with Citibank on a notional principal amount of $100 million (¥12.8 billion at the current spot rate). Every six months, MB pays Citibank U.S. dollar 6 M LIBOR, while citibank makes payments to MB of 1.3 percent annually in yen. At maturity, Citibank and MB reverse the notional principals. Assume that LIBOR6 (annualized) and the ¥/$ exchange rate evolve as follows. Calculate the net dollar amount that MB pays to Citibank("-") or receives from BT ("+") each six-month period.
