A metrоpоlitаn trаnsit аuthоrity plans a 3-year floating-rate note (FRN) to finance Phase II of its subway expansion. Analysts use a 3-year binomial interest-rate lattice calibrated from market par and forward rates. Bond details Face Value: $100.00 Reset/Payment Frequency: Annual (coupon paid at each year-end) Reference Rate: The 1-year short rate at the start of each period (from the lattice) Quoted Constant Spread: [s]% (added to the reference rate each year) Today’s 1-year spot rate: [z1]% 1-year forward rates starting 1 year from today (t=1): Node B: [f11b]% Node C: [f11c]% 1-year forward rates starting 2 years from today (t=2): Node D: [f21d]% Node E: [f21e]% Node F: [f21f]% Coupon rule (floater): Coupon at Year 1 (paid at t=1): [z1]+[s][z1] + [s][z1]+[s]% Coupon at Year 2 (paid at t=2): [f11b]+[s][f11b] + [s][f11b]+[s]% if path B, or [f11c]+[s][f11c] + [s][f11c]+[s]% if path C Coupon at Year 3 (paid at t=3): [f21d]+[s][f21d] + [s][f21d]+[s]% at D, [f21e]+[s][f21e] + [s][f21e]+[s]% at E, or [f21f]+[s][f21f] + [s][f21f]+[s]% at F At maturity (t=3), the bond pays principal $100 plus the Year-3 coupon. Task:Using the lattice, price the FRN today by backward induction under equal risk-neutral branch probabilities (0.5). Discount each node’s expected cash flow by the local 1-year short rate at that node. Hint1: Given your experience at this point of this class, valuation of a floater should be like riding a bike! Step 1: Keep in mind the calibrated rates are already given to you. No need to calibrate the tree. Step 2: What is my coupon rate? In the case of floaters, it is simply the same rate shown on each node + floater spread. Hence, you will have a different coupon on each node. Step 3: Solve the tree backwards (starting from the terminal nodes), as usual. Hint2: If the floater spread is 0%, we refer to it as a "par floater." If you got that version of this question, don't be surprised. If you did not get a 0% spread, give it a try and repeat your calculations using a 0% spread this time. Take a look at the price of the floater and the values on all of the nodes in the tree.
Yоu аre wоrking аs а juniоr analyst at a corporate treasury desk. Your company has excess cash that it wants to park for a short period while waiting to fund an upcoming project. To do so, the treasurer instructs you to place the money in a Eurodollar time deposit. You open a [days]-day Eurodollar deposit with an initial investment of $[deposit]. The agreed interest rate is the [days]-day LIBOR of [rate]% per annum, quoted on a simple (add-on) interest basis — the same convention used in pricing Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs). Because Eurodollar deposits and FRAs both rely on this add-on interest calculation rather than compounding, one of your peers insists it's important you understand how to translate the annualized LIBOR quote into the actual cash interest received at maturity. How much interest will your company receive when the deposit matures at the end of [days] days? *Round your answer to the nearest two decimals. Do not type the $ symbol.
