Floating interest rate

SASyed Ahsan Ali5y ago
Sir, u said in your lecture on chapter 24 Interest rate risk that floating interest rate is charged on a day-to-day basis. Could you please explain how the bank charges a floating rate on debt borrowing? If we have borrowed $100,000 while the floating interest rate is 5% but in a week's time it is increased to 7% how would the bank charge interest on borrowing?

They would charge at the rate of 5% per year for one week, and then charge at the rate of 7% per year for the rest of the period of the loan.
