Answer:

c. $8.63

Explanation:

Missing word <em>"The forward LIBOR rate is 7%. All rates are compounded semiannually.  A. $8.88 , B. $9.12 , C. $8.63 , D. $9.02"</em>

Principal = $1000, FRA Rate = 9 % per annum, LIBOR after 2 years = 7 % per annum, Compounding Frequency: Semi-Annual, Risk-Free Rate = 6 % per annum

The FRA matures 2 years or 24 months from now. Further, the Interest Rate that the FRA hedges will create an interest expense only at the end of the LIBOR loan period which is an additional 6 months after the 24 month period.

Hence, Exchange of Interest Expense at the end of 30 Months = (FRA Rate - LIBOR) x Principal (calculated on a semi-annual basis)

= (0.045 - 0.035) * 1000

= $10

Current Value of FRA = Present Value of Interest Expense at the end of the 30 Months Period

= 10 / [1+(0.06/2)]^(30/6)

= $8.6261

= $8.63

NeTakaya

Answer:

d. affects people's willingness to work save, and invest.

Explanation:

Marginal tax rate by definition is the rate of tax charged when an individual makes an additional dollar of income. If workers are charged higher tax rates , they are more likely to work less, to not  look for higher paying jobs or  not work at all than if they faced lower rates. A lower tax rate may be a good idea for policymakers but it could eliminate assistance given to poor families and individuals. Therefore each option has a tradeoff.
