normally if its any of the calculations you can draw out arrows, diagrams, whos the fixed rate payer, time line, and duration formula(remember it) it makes things much easier. hope that helps a little.

dont confuse .25% with .0025, remember that when basis point is used it wont be bigger than 1% majority of the times(ie they'll just say 1.5% given that the whole time they WERENT using basis points)

the dude man above explains it very wel
