NOK/NZD swap arrangements
(a) You are CFO for a company that borrows NOK 100M at 10% for seven years, and you swap the load into NZD at a spot rate of NOK/NZD 4 and the sevenyear swap rates of 7% (NZD) and 8% (NOK). What are the payments on the loan, on the swap, and on the combination of them? Is there a gain if you could have borrowed NZD at 9%?
(b) The swap now has three years to go and your CEO asks you to estimate the value of the swap contract. To recap, your company has now an outstanding fixed-for-fixed NOK/NZD swap for NOK 100M based on the historic spot rate of NOK/NZD 4 and initial swap rates of 7% (NZD) and 8% (NOK). With three years to go and current rates at NOK/NZD 4.5, 6% (NZD) and 5% (NOK). What is the market value of the swap contract?
(c) Use the same data as in the previous part, except that now the NZD leg is a floating rate. The rate has just been reset. What is the market value of the swap?
