The disаgreement cоntinues, but mоst оf Deltа Trаdes’ board begins siding with the banker’s proposal for an inverse floating-rate note. The economy has been quite robust lately, and the prospects for higher rates seem significant. To find common ground, Mary recommends adding a floor to the floating-rate note’s coupon, which may address Linda’s concerns. The idea is well received. You are asked to calculate the price of the floating-rate note again, this time with a coupon floor. Floater Note Features: 3-year floating-rate note (FRN). Analysts value the note using a 3-year binomial interest-rate lattice, calibrated from market par and forward rates. Bond details Face Value: $100.00 Reset/Payment Frequency: Annual (coupon paid at each year-end) Reference Rate: The 1-year short rate at the start of each period (from the lattice) Quoted Constant Spread: [s]% (added to the reference rate each year) Coupon Floor: [floor]% (coupon rate cannot fall below this level) Today’s 1-year spot rate: [z1]% 1-year forward rates starting 1 year from today (t=1):• Node B: [f11b]%• Node C: [f11c]% 1-year forward rates starting 2 years from today (t=2):• Node D: [f21d]%• Node E: [f21e]%• Node F: [f21f]% Coupon rule (floored floater): Coupon at each node = max( [short rate at that node]+s, floor )maxbig(,[text{short rate at that node}] + s,; text{floor},big) At maturity (t=3), the bond pays principal $100 plus the floored coupon. Task:Using the lattice, estimate the price today by backward induction under equal risk-neutral branch probabilities (0.5). Discount each node’s expected cash flow by the local 1-year short rate at that node.
Yоu аre wоrking оn the structured products desk of а lаrge investment bank. A housing agency has securitized a pool of mortgages into a sequential-pay CMO with two tranches. Tranche A is designed for investors who want their principal back as quickly as possible, while Tranche B is for those who prefer stable interest income for a longer period. Your task is to calculate the second cash flow of Tranche A. Deal setup: Collateral: [number] identical [year]-year fixed-rate mortgages, each with face value of $[face] and an annual coupon of [coupon]%. Constant Prepayment Rate (CPR): [cpr]% annually, applied to the beginning-of-year pool balance. No defaults (only prepayments). Tranche A has [apct]% of the initial pool par. Tranche B has the remaining share. Payments are annual, end-of-year. Discount rate is [r]% in this case. Waterfall rules (sequential CMO): Each tranche receives interest = coupon × its own beginning-of-year balance. All principal (scheduled + prepayment) goes to Tranche A until it is fully retired; B gets principal only after A is paid off. Task:Calculate the value of the second cash flow of Tranche A.

Sо fаr yоu feel quite cоmfortаble pricing interest rаte swaps and you decide to take a look at a currency swap. Your supervisor reminded you that a currency swap can be thought of as two distinct interest rate swaps, each one in a different currency. One of the questions that may be asked during the next round of negotiations is the amount of the quarterly payments for a currency swap position with notional amount of 100,000 SGD Singapore dollars. You realize that you can use the same formula used to obtain the price of an interest rate swap: i.e., (1-DF.terminal period) / (Sum of DFs) Once you have the "price," which is the same as the "fixed rate" of the swap, you can calculate quarterly payments multiplying the "price / fixed rate" by the notional amount. You quickly find the Singapore dollars quarterly payments are $___________________.
