The disаgreement cоntinues, but mоst оf Deltа Trаdes’ board begins siding with Linda’s proposal for a floating-rate note. The economy has been somewhat unstable lately, and the prospects for lower rates seem significant. To find common ground, Mary recommends adding a cap to the floating-rate note’s coupon, which may address the banker’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 cap. 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 Cap: [cap]% (coupon rate cannot exceed 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 (capped floater): Coupon at each node = min( [short rate at that node]+s, cap )minbig(,[text{short rate at that node}] + s,; text{cap},big) At maturity (t=3), the bond pays principal $100 plus the capped 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.
The negоtiаtiоns begin! Yоur compаny hаs excess cash that it wants to park for a short period while waiting to fund an upcoming project. To do so, the treasurer suggests the money could be placed in a Eurodollar time deposit. More specifically, a [days]-day Eurodollar deposit with an initial investment of $[deposit]. The interest rate is the [days]-day LIBOR of [rate]% per annum, quoted on a simple (add-on) interest basis. One of the directors at the table asks you ... If we move forward with this possibility, How much interest will our company receive when the deposit matures at the end of [days] days? *Round your answer to the nearest three decimals. Do not type the $ symbol.
The system is bаck up аnd running! One оf yоur cоlleаgues stop by and informs you that one of the institutions participating in the deal is very well known for their swap products. She recommends you should evaluate the price of a few interest rate swaps before going to the meeting. "Who knows" ... she says ... "You may end up saving the day!". In this specific case, you realize that you need the correct par swap rate. Your system provides the following annual discount factors: 1-year discount factor: [df1] 2-year discount factor: [df2] 3-year discount factor: [df3] 4-year discount factor: [df4] 5-year discount factor: [df5] 6-year discount factor: [df6] 7-year discount factor: [df7] 8-year discount factor: [df8] You are able to get that rate fairly quickly. You print your report right before moving to the conference room. The report indicates that the [year]-year par swap rate is _________________. Round your answer to the nearest three decimals if needed. Type your answer in percentage and not in decimals (i.e. 5.212 and not 0.052). Do not type the % symbol.
