On 16 March 2012, First Citizen Bank (FCB) approached Silva for advice on a loan commitment. At that time, FCB had committed to lend $100 million in 30 days (on 15 April 2012), with interest and principal due on 12 October 2012, or 180 days from the date of the loan. The interest rate on the loan was 180-day Libor + 50 bps, and FCB was concerned about interest rates declining between March and April. Silva advised FCB to purchase a $100 million interest rate put on 180-day Libor with an exercise rate of 5.75% and expiring on 15 April 2012. The put premium was $25,000. Libor rates on 16 March 2012 and 15 April 2012 were 6% and 4%, respectively. The option was exercised on 15 April 2012, and the payoff was received on 12 October 2012. FCB has asked for a written evaluation of the success of the strategy.
C is correct. The effective annual rate is calculated as follows:
Future value of put premium on 15 April:
$25,000[1+(0.06+0.005)(30/360)]=$25,135.42$25,000[1+(0.06+0.005)(30/360)]=$25,135.42
Effective loan outlay = $100,000,000 + $25,135.42 = $100,025,135.42
Loan interest:
$100,000,000[(0.04+0.005)(180/360)]=$2,250,000$100,000,000[(0.04+0.005)(180/360)]=$2,250,000
Put Payoff:
$100,000,000[max(0,0.0575−0.04)(180/360)]=$875,000$100,000,000[max(0,0.0575−0.04)(180/360)]=$875,000
Effective interest = $2,250,000 + $875,000 = $3,125,000
Effective annualized loan rate:
(100,000,000+3,125,000100,025,135)365/180−1=0.0638
关于期权费的复利不太理解，既然支付期权费时点libor是6%，为什么期权费要用libor+50bps考虑时间价值呢？
