in ur exmples u have given which rate the company is using now in exams we arent provided with that info so we do assume that the company is using fixed rate and would like to hedge against floating rate
February 22, 2022 at 6:55 pm #649135Most questions make it clear by implication in the wording. However even if it is not made clear in the wording (which is very unusual) then a swap can only make a benefit one way round and it does not take long to work out which way round it will have to be.

For Q39, I am a bit puzzled because in the current edition of the BPP Kit there is no swap in this question.
