Sir as per your lecture interest floor is the minimum an investor set for himself on deposit
And collar the max on borrowing
There is a questio in Kaplan kit
The cost of interest rate floor is higher than the cost of an interest rate collar
(True/false)
To me it looked false but kit says true.how?

That is true. We pay a premium to fix the floor, but if we create a collar then we also receive a premium from the person we sell an option to and this creates a cap.
I do explain collars in detail in my free lectures on the management of interest rate risk.
