The LIBOR rates today for 2, 3, and 6 months are 4.0%, 4.5%, and 5.0%, respectively. What should be the rate of 2×6 FRA contract initiated today? Assume all rates are continuously compounded annual rates.
A. 4% B. 4.5% C. 5% D. 5.5% E. 6% D is the answer, please show the solution.
Homework Answers
At initiation, value of FRA to both the parties will be zero. This will happen when FRA rate=forward ratr for 4 months starting in 2 months
rate for 2 months*2+forward rate for 4 months*4=rate for 6 months*6
=>forward rate for 4 months=(6*5%-2*4%)/4=5.5%
