Answer:

(a)0.04317 (b) 3672 which will be paid by the payer to the receiver (c) -399. so, the 399 which will be paid by the receiver to the payer (d) 2659.38

Explanation:

Solution

(a) Swap Rate (R) = (1 - P₃)/(P₁+P₂+P₃)

= (1 – 0.88)/(0.97 + 0.93 + 0.88)

= 0.04317

(b) The payer pays the fixed interest rate and gets the variable interest rate.

Then, the fixed interest rate is known as the  swap rate which is 4.317%.

Now,

The variable rate is the one year spot rate for the first year of the loan. which is r₁ = 1/P₁ -1 = 1/0.97 - 1 = 0.03093

Thus,

The net swap payment becomes (300,000)(0.04317) - (300,000)(0.03093) = 3672 which will be paid by the payer to the receiver.

(c) The payer pays the fixed interest rate and receives the variable interest rate. The fixed interest rate is the swap rate which is 4.317%.

Thus,

The variable rate is the one year spot rate for the second year of the loan is 4.45%.

So,

The net swap payment becomes (300,000)(0.04317) - (300,000)(0.04450) = -399.

Therefore, the 399 which will be paid by the receiver to the payer.

(d) The market value is the present value of expected future cash flows. under this swap, the variable rate has been swapped for the constant swap rate. There is one year left under the swap.

Then,

The expectation is that the swap owner will pay (300,000)(0.04317) and receive (300,000)(0.0525). these payments would be made at the end of one year. Therefore, the market value will be:

{(300,000)(0.0525) - (300,000)(0.04317)}/1.0525 = 2799/1.0525 = 2659.38

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option D: Time value of money.

Explanation:

To begin with, due to the fact that Rock Solid Concrete Company does not offer customers a cash discount for early payment then it is quite obvious that their customers will try to wait to pay their bills on the last day because in that way they will be able of having that money availabe for any issues or inconveniences that could occur during those first days, therefore that those customers apparently <u>understand the importance of time value of the money because if the pay early they will lose that cash and would not have it for any urgencies</u>.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

C) The court will apply the predominant-purpose test to determine whether the predominant purpose of the contract was the sale of goods in which case the UCC would apply.

Explanation:

From the case it is clear that the contract happens between Beau and the Manager of XYZ is of selling the carpet only. The service on the other hand, is not a department of UCC. The service contracts are department of common law whereas sales of goods law is applied to UCC or Uniform Commercial Code. So, except this option, all other options are false.
