Answer 1

Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.

answer :

3.02 million,    2.96 million,    2.91 million

Explanation:

Determine the swap rate over a 3-year period

swap rate = forward exchange rate * exchange amount

For year 1

1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 ) * 2.2 million

= 1.4 ( 0.98095 ) * 2.2

= 3.02 million

For year 2

1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^2 * 2..2 million

= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^2 * 2.2 million

= 2.96378 million

For year 3

1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^3 * 2.2 million

= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^3 * 2.2 million

= 2.90733 million
