interest rate futures

Sshilpa9y ago
once effective interest rates are found out using various options .should we recommend an option that has highest effective interest rate if we are receiving money and if its borrowing low-interest rate?

There is no 'best' option. If you are borrowing money, then the lower you fix the cap the more the premium will be (and, of course, the premium will be effectively wasted if the option is not exercised). All you can do in the exam is illustrate what will happen with each strike price, and make the point that I have made in my previous sentence.
