问题如下:
The company enters into a $100,000,000 notional amount 2 × 5 receive-fixed FRA that is advanced set, advanced settled. The appropriate discount rate for the FRA settlement cash flows is 1.5%. After 60 days, 90-day Libor is 0.80%, 60-day Libor is 0.7%.
If the FRA was initially priced at 1.20%, the payment received to settle the 2 × 5 FRA will be:
选项:
A.100,000
B.99,626
C.99,800
解释:
B is correct.
考点:FRA settlement
解析:
注:题目中特别说明了折现率是1.5%,所以直接用1.5%折现,不用90天的LIBOR折现。
老师你好,这题我算对了,但我想确认一下我对short FRA的理解是否正确,下方是我的理解,您可以帮我看看正确与否吗?谢谢。
假设现在是1月份,这公司担心未来利率下降,所以他打算锁定利率;为此,他与银行签订一份两个月后开始的为期三个月的的FRA,双方议定的利率是1.2%,名义本金是$100,000,000。
接着,时间来到3月份了,3月份现行利率是0.8%。
接着,时间来到6月份了,银行在6月份得向这公司补偿1月份FRA中议定好的利率和3月份现行利率的息差,也就是1.2%-0.8%的息差,金额是(1.2%-0.8%)x$100,000,000x(3➗12),由于是advanced settled,所以要把金额折现到3月份。
