Company ROTTA S.A. has contracted a loan of 1 000 000 EURO. With a Floating Rate Note interest rate equal to the 3-month Euribor + ¾%
The management of ROTTA wants to hedge the risk related to a rise in interest rates, and buys/sells for this reason a “3 against 6 FRA contract”. The counterpart of this transaction is a bank, Martin Transav N.V. This bank agrees to buy/sell the FRA against a guaranteed rate of 9%.
Question A Should ROTTA buy or sell the FRA contract in order to hedge the potential interest rate risk related to this loan?
Scenario I: After three months the Euribor amounts to 8%Question B In scenario I, how much will the company pay/ receive to/from the bank, expressed in a yearly interest rate percentage?
Question C What are the interest charges of the loan for the three coming months in scenario I, expressed in a yearly interest rate percentage?
Question D What are the charges to be paid by the company for the three coming months (Loan+ FRA position) in scenario I, expressed in an yearly interest rate %?Scenario II: After three months the Euribor amounts to 10%
Question E In scenario II, how much will the company pay/ receive to/from the bank, expressed in a yearly interest rate percentage?
Question F What are the interest charges of the loan for the three coming months in scenario II, expressed in a yearly interest rate percentage?
Question G What are the charges to be paid by the company for the three coming months (Loan+ FRA position) in scenario II, expressed in an yearly interest rate %?

Find out what the financial consequences of these strategies are in case of scenario I or scenario IIOctober 24, 2017 at 2:30 pm #413057In future if you want me to answer you should ask in the Ask the Tutor Forum (this forum is for students to help each other).
However we do not provide answers to test questions. If you have an answer then by all means ask about whatever it is in the answer than you are not clear about and then I will explain.
