The treasurer of Company ABC expects to receive a cash inflow of $18,000,000 in 90 days. The treasurer expects short-term interest rates to fall during the next 90 days. To hedge against this risk, the treasurer decides to use an FRA that expires in 90 days and is based on 90-day LIBOR. The FRA is quoted at 6%. At expiration, LIBOR is 4.8%. Assume that the notional principal on the contract is $18,000,000.
Calculate the gain or loss to Company ABC as a consequence of entering the FRA
