Interest Rate Collars

CChansa5y ago
The illustration you did on the interest rate collars shows the range of the interest collar between the floor and the cap, but the questions I have come across expect the answer to be in a monetary value. So how do we deal with such questions. Please advise.

Sometimes exam questions require a monetary value and sometime just require the %'s - it depends on the wording of the question. If a monetary value is required then this is calculated in the same way as we always calculate the monetary effect of using options (when it is not a collar) as I explain in my lectures on interest rate options (which, given that interest rate options are option on interest rate futures needs being able to calculate the monetary effect of futures - again I explain this in full in my lectures.)

Okay, I understand now. Thank you so much.
