1 d
Cash flow (Investor' s FRA) = x(f - r) x xP
(1 + r x d/365) 365
1 d
Cash flow (Borrower' s FRA) = x(r - f) x xP
(1 + r x d/365) 365
Where r = Settlement rate, f = FRA rate,
d = Nos of days in FRA contract, and
P = Notional principal amount,
FB would pay EIL the differential of current MIBOR and agreed rate of 9.25% on
notional principal of Rs 500 lacs for 180 days, discounted at 10%. The amount to
be paid by FB is
Cash flow to firm
1 180
= x (0.10 - 0.0925) x x 5,00,00,000
(1 + 0.10 x 180/360) 360
1,87,500
= = Rs 1,78, 571
1.05
Interest cost for loan from CB = 5,00,00,000 x 0.10/2 = Rs 25,00,000
Maturity amount of FRA at 10% = 1,78,571 x 1.05 = Rs 1,87,500
Effective interest amount paid = Rs 23,12,500
Effective borrowing cost = 23,12,500/5,00,00,000 = 0.04625
equivalent to 9.25% p.a
In case the benchmark rate falls to 8.60% EIL would have to pay FB the
differential of actual and contracted rate as follows:
