1. You want to enter a pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap with a notional amount of $15 million and quarterly payments for one year. Interest calculations will use a 90/360 convention. The yield curve is as follows:Term Rate

90 3.0%

180 3.2%

270 3.3%

360 3.5%

a. What is the correct fixed rate term for this swap?

b. In 90 days, how much money will you pay or receive (net)?

c.  Assume that you entered the swap contract on initiation date at the fair rate that you calculated in Part A, and 60 days later the yield curve is as follows: Term Rate

30 3.50%

120 3.75%

210 3.90%

300 4.00%

What is the value of the swap to you (paying fixed and receiving the floating rate)?
