Hi John. The ques says that awan is receiving 48 m on 1 feb. The FRA is 4.82%. When the rate increases to 4.99%, this means that awan could receive more at 4.99% but it can only get 4.82%.So awan suffered a loss of 0.17% which is why he will have to make a payment to Voklava bank. When the rate decreases to 3.19%, there is a gain of 1.63 for awan because it will now rec at 4.82% than 3.19%(which is low). So this time, awan will rec gain from the bank. Please tell me whether I've understood the concept. What would be if this was a payment case instead of receipt?
