Calculating Forward Rate Agreements
Question
On the 15th of May 2013 you enter a Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) to borrow on the 15th of September 2013 $1’000’000 for 8 months at a fixed annualized interest rate of 5% (for a FRA with a contract length of 8 months the compounding frequency is 1.5 times c.p.a.). Suppose the following bonds are traded in the market on the 15th of August 2013:
• 1-month zero coupon with $1000 face value currently trades for $996.672
• 3-month zero coupon bond with $1000 face value currently trades for $989.555
• 1-year 10% semi-annual coupon bond with $1000 face value currently trades for $1051.706

• 1-year 4% quarterly coupon bond with $1000 face value currently trades for $993.938
x% semi-annual coupon means $1000 x%/2 coupon payments every 6 months
x% quarterly coupon means $1000 x%/4 coupon payments every 3 months
What is the value of the FRA for you as a borrower on the 15th of August 2013?

When I saw the prices of TheReliableTutor law assignment help for New Zealand students I was very skeptical of the quality. But I still gave them a try and lets just say that the quality has been even better than what I had expected. Since the legal assignment experts are practicing professionals from New Zealand they know exactly what is happening in the New Zealand legal world at the moment and help incorporate those into your law assignment and law homework.

Nuclear chemistry problems were turning into the bane of my life and i was just not able to get my head around the subject. But with the help of the nuclear chemistry assignment experts at HwA helped me understand the topics better than most of the other online assignment help services that i had used previously. It is affordable and the quality of assignment writing is definitely worth every cent I paid.
Brendan Schulte Student
I never learned how to analyze the results of a multi-variants regression test and ANOVA test before I approached HwA. The experts here are so helpful and cordial that they in simple language wrote the analysis report and helped me get good marks in my assignment. Since then I always approach HwA whenever I face difficulties with my assignments.

When it was time for me to start on my Stats Thesis Paper I was at a complete loss. I did not know where to begin even. That is when I contacted the experts at TheReliableTutor and the process from then on was as smooth as it could be. From the selection of the topic to reviewing the existing literature and finally putting it all together, I would not have been able to do any of it as well as I have without the constant help and support of the Stats Thesis Writing Expert at TheReliableTutor.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
