问题如下:
Suppose that the quotes for a five-year interest rate swap are bid 3.2,ask3.24 a company can borrow at Libor plus 50 basis points but wants to borrow for five years at a fixed rate. What swap should the company enter into? What rate of interest does the company end up borrowing at? (Assume that the spread above Libor at which the company borrows does not change.)
选项:
解释:
The company should arrange to pay fixed and receive floating to convert the floating-rate loan to a fixed-rate loan. It will accept the ask quote of 3.24. Its cash flows will be
• Pay 3.24%,
• Receive Libor, and
• Pay Libor + 0.5%.
These net to 3.74%.
这道理我理解是根据协议公司可以按L+50bp借浮动,而公司实际想借固定,所以发生swap。在swap的步骤是先按L+50bp付浮动再按3.2收固定,还的时候反向操作是L+50BP收浮动,再按3.24付固定。最终成本是0.04%.请问老师我错在那步,答案的Receive Libor是在哪步发生的?
