6.From the bank’s perspective, based on Exhibits 6 and 7, the value of the 6 x 9 FRA 90 days after inception is closest to:
选项:
A.$14,817.
B.$19,647.
C.$29,635.
解释:
A is correct. The current value of the 6 x 9 FRA is calculated as
Vg(0,h,m) = {[FRA(g,h - g,m) - FRA(0,h,m)]tm}/[1 + Dg(h + m - g)th+m-g]
The 6 x 9 FRA expires six months after initiation. The bank entered into the FRA 90 days ago; thus, the FRA will expire in 90 days. To value the FRA, the first step is to compute the new FRA rate, which is the rate on Day 90 of an FRA that expires in 90 days in which the underlying is the 90-day Libor, or FRA(90,90,90):
FRA(g,h - g,m) = {[1 + Lg(h - g + m)th-g+m]/[1 + L0(h - g)th-g] - 1}/tm
FRA(90,90,90) = {[1 + L90(180 - 90 + 90)(180/360)]/[1 + L90(180 - 90) (90/360)] - 1}/(90/360)
FRA(90,90,90) = {[1 + L90(180)(180/360)]/[1 + L90(90)(90/360)] - 1}/ (90/360)
Exhibit 7 indicates that L90(180) = 0.95% and L90(90) = 0.90%, so
FRA(90,90,90) = {[1 + 0.0095(180/360)]/[1 + 0.0090(90/360)] - 1}/(90/360)
FRA(90,90,90) = [(1.00475/1.00225) - 1](4) = 0.009978, or 0.9978%
Therefore, given the FRA rate at initiation of 0.70% and notional principal of $20 million from Exhibit 1, the current value of the forward contract is calculated as
Vg(0,h,m) = V90(0,180,90)
V90(0,180,90) = $20,000,000[(0.009978 - 0.0070)(90/360)]/[1 + 0.0095(180/360)].
V90(0,180,90) = $14,887.75/1.00475 = $14,817.37.
签合约时,t=0;now是t=3
和前面一个问题相对比(另一道题目为NO.PZ2019010402000013),下图30天libor、60天libor、90天libor、120天libor、150天libor、180天libor、210天libor、270天libor的数字,是对于t=3时点,还是t=0时点?
另外,考试的时候也默认是在 t=(前面回答的时点),对吗?应该怎么判别?谢谢!
