Forward rate agreement

Dear sir, If the FRA is mentioned as 5.2-5.3. why do we choose 5.3? why is the 5.2 given? Thankyou

It would help if you wrote the whole question!!! There are two rates quoted - interest received on deposits and interest paid on borrowings. If you are borrowing money, then it is obviously the higher rate (5.3%) that would be relevant. If you are depositing money then it would be the lower rate (5.2%).

Yes we are borrowing. Thank you!
