- (Fair Value Hedge) Sarazan Company issues a 4-year, 7.5% fixed-rate interest only, nonrepayable $1,000,000 note payable on December 31, 2016. It decides to change the interest rate from a fixed rate to variable rate and enters into a swap agreement with M&S Corp. The swap agreement specifies that Sarazan will receive a fixed rate at 7.5% and pay variable with settlement dates that match the interest payments on the debt. Assume that interest rates have declined during 2017 and thatSarazan received $13,000 as an adjustment to interest expense for the settlement at December 31, 2017. The loss related to the debt (due to interest rate changes) was $48,000. The value of the swap contract increased $48,000.Instructions(a) Prepare the journal entry to record the payment of interest expense on December 31, 2017.(b) Prepare the journal entry to record the receipt of the swap settlement on December 31, 2017.(c) Prepare the journal entry to record the change in the fair value of the swap…arrow_forwardsuppose you buy an non-dividend paying asset at $50 and sell a 6 month futures contract at $53.

Suppose two firms enter into a 4-year credit default swap on in March 2021. Assume the notional principal is $125 million and the buyer agrees to pay 80 basis points per annum with payments being made quarterly. How much is each quarterly payment for the buyer and how much will the buyer pay after four years of quarterly payments if there is no credit event?arrow_forward
- V5. Suppose that some time ago a financial institution agreed to receive 6-month LIBOR and pay 4% per annum (with semi-annual compounding) on a notional principal of $200 million. The swap has a remaining life of 1.25 years; assume that the payments are to be exchanged every 6 months. The LIBOR rates with continuous compounding for 3-month, 9-month, and 15-month maturities are 3.8%, 4.2%, and 4.4%, respectively. The 6-month LIBOR rate at the last payment date was 3.9% (with semiannual compounding). Suppose that the day count convention is ignored. Calculate the current value of the swap (in terms of bond prices) to the financial institution.arrow_forwardSuppose that at the present time, one can enter 5-year swaps that exchange LIBOR for 5%. An off-market swap would then be defined as a swap of LIBOR for a fixed rate other than 5%. For example, a firm with 7% coupon debt outstanding might like to convert to synthetic floating-rate debt by entering a swap in which it pays LIBOR and receives a fixed rate of 7%. What up-front payment will be required to induce a counterparty to take the other side of this swap? Assume notional principal is $10 million.arrow_forwardStyles c)A swap agreement calls for Grand Industries to pay interest annually based on a rate of 1% over the one year T bill rate, currently 6%. In return, Grand receives interest at a rate of 6% on a fixed rate basis. The notional principal for the swap is $ 500000| What is Grand's net interest for the year after the agreement?arrow_forward

On June 1, Wellmax bought an option (strike price = $0.066) to sell 1,040,000 pesos on September 1. The time value of the option is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and the change in time value is recognized in net income over the life of the option.
