    i use the following formula to find closing interest future rate.

    =closing spo ratet+(opening futre rate-current spot rate)*remaing months from borrow till expiry /total months from today til expiry

    closing spot rate=current libor %+increase or decrease in int rate
    opening future rate = rate at given expiry month
    current spot rate= is the curent spot rate

    Till now i used to get closing rate using this formula but i cam across fitzharris co sep/dec20 and i got answer different from exam kit.
    for decrerease in interest rate in collar i got closing rate has 3.39 whereas kits answer was 3.9.

    is this difference ok or will the answer be wrong?

    if wrong, does that mean i shouldnt use this formula always?

    I do not know where you are finding 3.9%.

    The examiners own answer calculated the closing futures price as being 96.61 (which is equivalent to 3.39%).
