ASSET G PRICE P135 80 H 5. The Acme Insurance Company purchased a 5-year bond whose interest rate floats with LIBOR. Specifically, the interest rate in a given year is equal to LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At the same time the insurance company purchases this bond, it enters into a floor agreement with the Bear Stearns in which the notional amount is P35 million with a strike price of 6%. The premium Acme Insurance Company agrees to pay Bear Stearns each year is P300,000. a) Suppose at the time that it is necessary to determine whether a payment must be made by Bear Stearns, LIBOR is 9%.
