Consider a 4-year 5% bond swap in euros for 1 million notional value. In other words, there will be three interest payments followed by a final payment of interest plus principal, all made in euros. Assume that the appropriate discount rate is 9% and the spot rate is 1.05 USD/EUR when answering the following questions related to possible swap contracts. a. What is the net present value of the payments described above (in euros)? b. If you want to offset the euro payments with a single USD payment at the end of year two, what is the appropriate amount? (This could be described as a bullet repayment.) c. Alternatively, if you want to offset the euro payments with four equal USD payments at the end of each year, what is the appropriate amount? (This could be described as an annuity repayment.) Show work

Suppose that at the present time, one can enter 5-year swaps that exchange LIBOR for 5%. An off-market swap would then be defined as a swap of LIBOR for a fixed rate other than 5%. For example, a firm with 11% coupon debt outstanding might like to convert to synthetic floating-rate debt by entering a swap in which it pays LIBOR and receives a fixed rate of 11%. What up-front payment will be required to induce a counterparty to take the other side of this swap? Assume notional principal is $95 million. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Suppose that at the present time, one can enter 5-year swaps that exchange SOFR for 4%. An off-market swap would then be defined as a swap of SOFR for a fixed rate other than 4%. For example, a firm with 8% coupon debt outstanding might like to convert to synthetic floating- rate debt by entering a swap in which it pays SOFR and receives a fixed rate of 8%. What up- front payment will be required to induce a counterparty to take the other side of this swap? Assume notional principal is $110 million. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations.

Suppose that at the present time, one can enter 5-year swaps that exchange LIBOR for 5%. An off-market swap would then be defined as a swap of LIBOR for a fixed rate other than 5%. For example, a firm with 7% coupon debt outstanding might like to convert to synthetic floating-rate debt by entering a swap in which it pays LIBOR and receives a fixed rate of 7%. What up-front payment will be required to induce a counterparty to take the other side of this swap? Assume notional principal is $10 million.

3. You are to receive €400,000 in 90 days. a) Demonstrate how you would set up an options hedge. b) If the spot rate in 90 days is $1.10/€1.00.

Question 2 In 6-month from today, a U.S. based company will receive 2,000,000 Australian dollars (AUD) and the company wants to hedge the exchange rate risk. The expected AUD spot rate in 6-month will either appreciate by 5% (p.a) with 40% probability or depreciate by 10% (p.a.) with 60% probability. All rates are continuous compounding (please round your answers to 4 decimals in the exchange rate calculations). As the financial manager of the company, you look at Bloomberg and collect the following information: • U.S. interest rate: . . 4% p.a. 5% p.a. 1 AUD=0.63 USD Spot rate: Call option premium 0.03 USD, with exercise exchange rate 1 AUD-0.65 USD and 6-month maturity Put option premium 0.02 USD, with exercise exchange rate 1 AUD-0.64 USD and 6-month maturity Australian interest rate: 1) Calculate the 6-month forward exchange rate, describe how a forward agreement can be used to hedge the receivable money, and calculate the resulting amount of USD in 6 months.
Suppose the three-year swap rate for a swap with annual payments is 3.2% and that OIS (risk-free) zero rates for maturities of one, two and three years are 2.5%, 2.7% and 2.9% respectively. What is the value of a three-year swap where 4% is received and TSOFR is paid on a principal of $100 million? All rates are annually compounded.
