A three-year interest rate swap has a level notional amount of 300,000. Each settlement period is one year and the variable rate is the one-year spot interest rate at the beginning of the settlement period. One year has elapsed and the one-year spot interest rate at the start of year 2 is 4.45%. Time to Maturity 1 2 3 4 5
Price of zero coupon bond with Maturity value 1 0.97 0.93 0.88 0.82 0.75
Calculate the net swap payment by the payer at the end of the second year.
A. −400
B. −300
C. −200
D. −100
E. 0
Hint : Find the swap rate R using the table and then use R and the one-year spot rate at the start of year 2 to find the net swap payment at the end of year 2.

A. -400

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for the swap rate

R = (1-p3)/(p1+p2+p3)

R = 1-0.88/0.97+0.93+0.88

= 0.12/2.78

= 0.04317

Remember 4.45% is the one year spot rate for the second option

Net swap

= 300000*0.04317-300000*0.0445

= 12951-13350

= -399

This is approximately -400

So the net swap payment at the end of the second year is option a, -400

ok so the answer to your question is simple as long as you look at the different dimensions that contain the exemplary letters that combined in the right order give you words that eventually within the 5th dimension will conform and give you the correct answer to your question. hope i , stop looking at this easily, look at it with a spectral view.

step-by-step explanation:

told you

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
