    Hi there. Have you managed to get the answer for this? It’s a bit late but hope this helps.

    Alecto requires a ‘Borrowing Collar’ to hedge its position against rising interest rates whilst foregoing benefits of a lower rates in order to manage premium costs.

    A Borrowing Collar entails BUYING PUT and SELLING CALL.

    PUT is also known as a CAP, as the strike price would reflect the maximum interest rate the company would pay for to hedge its position.
    CALL is also known as a FLOOR, as the strike price would reflect the minimum interest rate the company would sell for to manage its premium costs.

    With this in mind, PUT (ie/cap) strike price should reflect a higher interest rate than a CALL (ie/floor) strike price.

    A strike price of 96.00 reflects interest rate of 4% (100 – 96)
    A strike price of 96.50 reflects interest rate of 3.5% (100 – 96.5)

    Between these two prices, 96.00 should be chosen as the strike price of a put and 96.50 for a call.
