Question 1.
\nWrite short note on Interest swap [May 2012] [4 Marks]
\nAnswer:
\nIt is the most common type of swap agreement. An interest rate SWAP is a financial contract between two parties exchanging or swapping a stream of interest payments on a notional principal amount periodically e.g. quarterly, half-yearly, etc. during a specified period. Such contracts generally involve the exchange of a fixed-to-floating or floating rate with one base-to-floating rate with different base of interest. Accordingly, on each payment date that occurs during the SWAP period, a cash payment based on the differential between fixed and floating interest rates is made out by one party involved in the contract to another party. The financial intermediaries, such as banks, pension funds, and insurance companies, as well as non-financial firms use interest rate swaps to effectively change the maturity of outstanding debt or that of an interest-bearing asset.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nExplain the meaning of the following relating to swap transactions:
\n(i) Plain Vanilla Swaps
\n(ii) Basis Rate Swaps
\n(iii) Asset Swaps
\n(iv) Amortizing Swaps [May 2015] [4 Marks]
\nAnswer:
\n(i) Plain Vanilla Swaps: The Plain Vanilla SWAPS are most often used interest rate SWAP. It is an agreement between two parties, in which each contracts to make payment to the other on particular dates in the future till a specified termination date. One party, known as the fixed rate payer, makes fixed payments all of which are determined at the outset. The other party, known as the floating rate payer will make payments depending upon the future evolution of a specified interest rate index.<\/p>\n

(ii) Basis Rate Swaps: It is similar to plain Vanilla SWAP with the difference that the payments are based on the difference between two different variable rates. For example, one rate may be 6 months LIBOR and the other may be PLR. In other words, two legs of SWAPS are floating but measured against different benchmark or index.<\/p>\n

(iii) Asset Swaps: It is similar to a plain vanilla SWAP, with the main difference being the underlying. It is the exchange of fixed rate investments such as bonds which pay a guaranteed coupon rate with floating rate investments such as an index.<\/p>\n

(iv) Amortizing Swaps: An exchange of cash flows, one of which pays a fixed rate of interest and one of which pays a floating rate of interest, and both of which are based on a notional principal amount that decreases. In an amortizing-swap, the notional principal decreases periodically because it is tied to an underlying financial instrument with a declining (amortizing) principal balance, such as a mortgage. These are particularly useful for borrowers who have issued redeemable bonds or debentures. It enables them to hedge interest rate with redemption profile of bonds or debentures.<\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nTM Fincorp has bought a 6 \u00d7 9 Rs. 100 crores Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) at 5.25%. On fixing date reference rate i.e. MIBOR turns out be as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You are required to determine:
\n(a) Profit\/Loss to TM Fincorp in terms of basis points.
\n(b) The settlement amount.
\n(Assume 360 days in a year) [Nov. 2008] [12 Marks]
\nAnswer:
\n(a) Determination of Profit \/Loss to TM Fincorp
\nInterest under FRA = 5.25%
\nActual Interest Rate (at fixing date) = 5.5%
\nStatus: TM has taken loan for 3 months
\nProfit to TM = 0.25% of loan amount for 3 months
\n= 0.25% of Rs. 100 Crores
\n= 100 \u00d7 .25\/100 \u00d7 90 days\/360 days = Rs. 6.25 Lakhs<\/p>\n

(b) Determination of the settlement account:
\nThe settlement amount shall be the present value of interest differential using prevailing rate of interest as discount rate.
\nSettlement account = \\(\\frac{\\text { Rs. } 6.25}{1+\\left(\\frac{5.5}{100} \\times \\frac{90}{360}\\right)}\\) = Rs. 6,17,284<\/p>\n

Alternative Formula:
\nIt may be calculated directly using the following formula:
\n= \\(\\frac{(\\mathrm{N})(\\mathrm{RR}-\\mathrm{FR})(\\mathrm{dtm} \/ \\mathrm{DY})}{[1+\\mathrm{RR}(\\mathrm{dtm} \/ \\mathrm{DY})]}\\)
\nWhere,
\nN = The notional principal amount of the agreement;
\nRR = Reference Rate for the maturity specified by the contract prevailing on the contract settlement date.
\nFR = Agreed-upon Forward Rate; and
\ndtm = Maturity of the forward rate, specified in days (FRA Days)
\nDY = Day count basis applicable to money market transactions which could be 360 or 365 days.<\/p>\n

Settlement Amount
\n= \\(\\frac{100 \\text { Crores }(5.5 \\%-5.25 \\%)(90360)}{1+0.055(90360)}\\)
\nNote: If exact dates are given, then actual number of days shall be taken. In above question, 92 days may also be taken.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nM\/s. Parker & Co. is contemplating to borrow an amount of ? 60 crores for a period of 3 months in the coming 6 months\u2019 time from now. The current rate of interest is 9% p.a., but it may go up in 6 months\u2019 time. The company wants to hedge itself against the likely increase in interest rate.
\nThe Company\u2019s Bankers quoted an FRA (Forward Rate Agreement) at 9.30% p.a.
\nWhat will be the effect of FRA and actual rate of interest cost to the company, if the actual rate of interest after 6 months happens to be
\n(i) 9.60% p.a. and (ii) 8.80% p.a.? [May 2013] [8 Marks]
\nAnswer:
\n\"Interest<\/p>\n

Alternative Solution:
\nThe final settlement amount may be computed by using formula:<\/p>\n

(a) When actual rate of interest after 6 months happens to be 9.60%
\n= \\(\\left(\\frac{\u20b9 60 \\text { crores) }(0.096-0.093)(3 \/ 12)}{[1+0.096(3 \/ 12)]}\\right)\\)
\n= \\(\\frac{(\u20b9 60 \\text { crores })(0.00075)}{1.024}\\)
\n= \u20b9 4,39.453
\nTherefore, banker will pay Parker & Co. a sum \u20b9 4,39,453<\/p>\n

(b) When actual rate of interest after 6 months happens to be 8.80%
\n= \\(\\frac{(\u20b9 60 \\text { crores })(0.088-0.093)(3 \/ 12)}{[1+0.088(3 \/ 12)]}\\)
\n= \\(\\frac{(\u20b9 60 \\text { crores })(-0.00125)}{1.022}\\) = \u20b9 7,33,855
\nTherefore, Parker & Co. will pay banker a sum \u20b9 7,33,855<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nP Ltd. is contemplating to borrow an amount of Rs. 50 crores for a period of 3 months in the coming 6 months time from now. The current rate of interest is 8% per annum but it may go up in 6 months time. The company wants to hedge itself against the likely increase in interest rate.
\nThe Company\u2019s Bankers quoted an FRA (Forward Rate Agreement) at 8.30% per annum.
\nCompute the effect of FRA and actual rate of interest cost to the company, if the actual rate of interest during consideration period happens to be (i) 8.60% p.a., or (ii) 7.80% p.a.

\nAnswer:
\nStatus of P Ltd. FRA Bought (Loan to be taken)
\n\"Interest<\/p>\n

Alternative Solution:
\nThe final settlement amount may be computed by using formula:
\n(a) When actual rate of interest after 6 months happens to be 8.60%
\n= \\(\\left(\\frac{(\\text { Rs.50 crores })(0.086-0.083)(3 \/ 12)}{[1+0.086(3 \/ 12)]}\\right)\\)
\n= \\(\\frac{(\\mathrm{Rs} .50 \\text { crores) }(0.00075)}{1.0215}\\) = Rs. 3,67107
\nTherefore, banker will pay P Ltd. a sum Rs. 3,67,107<\/p>\n

(b) When actual rate of interest after 6 months happens to be 7.80%
\n= \\(\\frac{(\\text { Rs. } 50 \\text { crores })(0.078-0.083)(3 \/ 12)}{[1+0.078(3 \/ 12)]}\\)
\n= \\(\\frac{(\\text { Rs. } 50 \\text { crores) }(-0.00125)}{1.0195}\\) = Rs. 6,13,045
\nTherefore, P Ltd. will pay banker a sum Rs. 6,13,045.<\/p>\n

\n(i) Sunday is Holiday.
\n(ii) Work in rounded rupees and avoid decimal working. [Nov. 2010] [8 Marks]
\nAnswer:
\n\"Interest
\nSince the bank has received Rs. 317 and the arrangement was that bank will pay at fixed rate and receive floating rate. Therefore, the floating payment is Rs. 317 more than fixed, as net payment has been made by the floating party to the bank. Hence,
\nFloating Rate Interest – Fixed Rate Interest = Rs. 317
\nFixed Rate Interest = Floating Rate Interest – Rs. 317
\n= Rs. 1,53,740 – Rs. 317 = Rs. 1,53,423
\nFixed number of days = 7
\nNotional Principal = Rs. 10 Crores
\nRate of interest for 7 days = (1,53,423\/10,00,00,000) \u00d7 100 = 0.153423%

IM wishes to borrow USD at floating rate and JI JY at fixed rate. The amount required by both the companies is same at the current Exchange Rate. A financial institution requires 75 basis points as commission for arranging swap. The companies agree to share the benefit\/loss equally.
\nYou are required to find out
\n(i) Whether a beneficial swap can be arranged?
\n(ii) What rate of interest for both IM and JI? [May 2019][8 Marks]
\nAnswer:
\n(i) IM has overall strong position and hence is in a comparative advanta-geous position in both rates. However, it has a comparative advantage in floating-rate market.
\nThe differential between the U.S. dollar floating rates is 2.00% per annum, and the differential between the JPY fixed rates is 0.25% per annum. The difference between the differentials is 1.75% per annum. The total potential gain to all parties from the swap is therefore 1.75% per annum, or 175 basis points. If the financial intermediary requires 75 basis points, each of IM and JI can be made 50 basis points better off.<\/p>\n

\nPremium = 1% of \u00a315 million i.e. 0.15 million = \u00a31,50,000
\nCalculation of Amortized amount(X):
\n1,50,000 = X multiplied by PVIFA<sub>(35%4)<\/sub>
