| Have a question on Mock 30, Question 114 
 Statement 6: Suppose that you planned to issue a 100M FRN in 90 days time that has a 180-day term and coupon payments that reset every 90 days at the  90-day LIBOR. You would want a European swaption with a notional principal amount of 100M and a 90-day expiry at the time of FRN issuance. The data for this example is presented in Exhibit 1
 
 Today      In 90 days
 90-day US LIBOR            3.5%          4%
 180-day US LIBOR          3.85%        4.35%
 Fixed rate on Swaption    3.9%          n/a
 Fixed rate on Swap          n/a            4.32%
 90-day discount factor     0.9913       0.9901
 180-day discount factor   0.9811       0.9787
 
 114) Based on Statement 6 and Exhibit 1, the market value of the swaption at expiration would be closest to:
 
 a) 206,725
 b) 207,764
 c) 208,961
 
 
 The answer they give is (105,000 x 0.9901) + (105,000 x 0.9787) = 206,725
 
 
 How did they get 105,000? And what is the logic to this answer?
 
 Thanks
