问题如下:
Suppose that the six-month Libor rate is 5%, the forward Libor rate for the period between 0.5 and 1.0 year is 5.6% and the forward Libor rate for the period between 1.0 and 1.5 years is 6.0. The two-year Libor swap rate is 5.7%. All risk-free rates are 4.5%. What is the forward Libor rate for the period between 1.5 and 2.0 years? All rates are expressed with semi-annual compounding.

解释:
A swap where 5.7% is paid and Libor is received is worth zero. Per 100 of principal, first FRA is worth:
= -0.342
The second FRA is worth:
= -0.048
The third FRA is worth:
= 0.14
If the required forward rate is R then:
- 0.342 - 0.048 + 0.140 = 0
This can be solved to give R = 0.0625. The forward rate for the period between 1.5 and 2.0 years is 6.25% (semiannually compounded).
2-year libor spot rate是两年期浮动债券的平均值,所以可以看做是一个固定利率债券,
本题的计算原理就是让一个浮动利率债券的现值与固定利率债券相等来求出最后一期的libor:
老师看看有错吗?
