A swap dealer quotes a euro midrate of 3.8175 percent (APR) in bond

equivalent yield with quarterly compounding for a two-year yen-per-euro currency coupon

swap. The corresponding two-year yen rate is 2.9291 percent (APR) in quarterly

compounded bond equivalent yield. The dealer charges an annual fee of ±8bp (±2bp per

quarter) around the euro swap mid-rate against yen three-month LIBOR flat. The swap

pricing schedule looks like this:

Currency Coupon Swap Pricing Schedule

Maturity Bid (in €) Ask (in €)

2 years 3.7375% 3.8975%

Quotes are against 1-year LIBOR Euroyen flat.

The spot exchange rate is ¥168.264/€.

PVIFA (present value interest factors for annuities) can be used to calculate present value of

annuities; multiply them by the coupon. Useful PVIFA include:

PVIFA(8 periods at the 3.8175%/4 = 0.954375% euro rate) = 7.66707456

PVIFA(8 periods at the 2.9291%/4 = 0.732275% yen rate) = 7.74268838
