Payments are made every 6 months. Suppose that company X defaults on the sixth payment date (at the end of year 3) when the interest rate (with semiannual compounding) is 8% per annum for all maturities. What is the loss to the financial institution? Assume that 6-month LIBOR was 9% per annum halfway through year 3.
