the name of question is interest rate hedge kaplan exam kit question number 63
Sorry, but I don’t have the Kaplan exam kit. If it is a past exam question then I can find it elsewhere, but otherwise I can’t help you.
The current LIBOR equivalent price will be 96.00 (because LIBOR is 4%, so 100 – 4).
So the current basis is 0.60The question says that LIBOR will fall by 0.5% (so to 3.5%) and therefore the equivalent futures price would be 96.50 (100 – 3.5).
You say that you are happy calculating that the basis will fall to 0.171, so the actual futures price at the date of the transaction will be 96.50 + 0.171 = 96.671
