问题如下:
The company enters into a $100,000,000 notional amount 2 × 5 receive-fixed FRA that is advanced set, advanced settled. The appropriate discount rate for the FRA settlement cash flows is 1.5%. After 60 days, 90-day Libor is 0.80%, 60-day Libor is 0.7%.
If the FRA was initially priced at 1.20%, the payment received to settle the 2 × 5 FRA will be:
选项:
A.100,000
B.99,626
C.99,800
解释:
B is correct.
考点:FRA settlement
解析:
注:题目中特别说明了折现率是1.5%,所以直接用1.5%折现,不用90天的LIBOR折现。
你好,FRA这里学得不好,我选的C,理由如下:
payment received at T=2, 就是求Value,所以用上减下。
上就是NP, 下就是NP*(1+FRA*3/12) / (1+1.5% * 3/12)
结果是C。
我想问问是不是一开始就想错了,这题其实是问T=2的实际交割,而不是Value。
实际交割就是利差,在T=2 到T= 5时间段内,其中一个是单纯的loan。
所以才如答案的思路。
请问我这样想对吗?
