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。
老师您好,请问这个给定的折现率不应该说的是刚进入FRA合约的时候未来现金流的折现率么?因为FRA是advanced settled,现金流只可能发生在两个月后。当我们选择60天后的折现率的时候,这个给定的折现率为什么不能是一个迷惑项呢?毕竟60天后已经没有未来现金流了因为这一天就是settle day。我的理解是这一题在考察正确的折现率的选择的时候同时考差了advanced settled的现金流发生时间。
