    Libor – 5%
    Libor may increase or decrease by 0.5%
    FRA agreement is 4%
    We can borrow or invest at libor – 0.3%

    For receipts: assuming libor increased
    Since FRA agreement rate is less than 5.5%, we will pay the bank the difference % on the invested amount for the duration for which it was invested. If FRA was more than 5.5%, then the reverse would happen and the bank would pay us the difference % on the invested amount for the duration for which it was invested.

    For payments: assuming libor increased
    Since FRA agreement rate is less than 5.5%, the bank will pay us the difference % on the borrowed amount for the duration for which it was borrowed. If FRA was more than 5.5%, then the reverse would happen and we will pay the bank the difference % on the borrowed amount for the duration for which it was borrowed.

    Im assuming the same logic is applied when libor decreases as well.

    Is my understanding correct? I just want to make sure that the above explanation is correct.

    Thank you!

    An FRA is an over-the-counter agreement with the bank.

    Unless the agreement (as outlines in the exam question) specifically said different, then what you have written is correct 🙂
