Problem: (16 points) 18. Consider a two-year currency swap with semiannual payments. The domestic currency is the U.S. dollar, and the foreign currency is the UK pound. The current exchange rate is $1.41/. Show all factor calculation to at least 4 decimal places. a. Calculate, or provide, the annualized fixed rate for dollars and for pounds. The current U.S. term structure is (HINT: same as question 815a): (180) 5.85% (360) = 6,05% L(540) - 6.24% L.720) = 6,65% The U.K term structure is: LE(180) - 4.93% Lof (360) 5.05% LE (540) = 5.19% LE (720) 5.51% Move forward 120 days.
