My first question is related to FRAS Sir i solved the way as If int rate increases by 0.9% Actual return on deposit ( 48m×4.79%×4/12) $766400 Payment to voblaka bank (4.82%_4.79%×48m ×4÷12) 4800 Net return 771200 But when i am looking answer at the back while calculating payment to voblaka bank they used( 4.99%_4.82%×48m×4/12)... i think they should have used 4.79% instead of 4.99%) please explain and correct me 2 i have doubt in part b theory which says how delta value of an option could be used in determining the No of contracts purchased i cannot understand this part please guide

1. FRA's do not have to be made with the bank with whom the investment is made - it can be with another institution and the payments are made by reference to the inter-bank rate. 2. I explain delta hedges in detail in my free lectures on options.
