A floating rate bond and an inverse floating rate bond are backed by $100 million portfolio of 10-year bonds. The coupon rate on the inverse floater equals: 12% – 2r. The market value of the portfolio of 10-year bonds rises to $105 million. Assume the credit quality of the portfolio does not change. At the reset date, the value of the inverse floating tranche will:

Consider the following basic $100 million CDO structure. The senior tranche has a par value of $70 million dollars and a coupon rate of LIBOR + 1.0%. The mezzanine tranche has a par value of $20 million and a coupon rate equal to 8.25%. The equity tranche has a par value of $10 million. Fees are equal to 5.2% of the equity tranche’s par value. The collateral consists of bonds with a coupon 9.75% that mature in ten years. A ten-year interest rate swap with notional principal of $70 million dollars is available that receives fixed rate of 5.25% and pays the LIBOR. Design a CDO that satisfies the above requirements. What is the potential annual return (in percent)  to the equity tranche assuming no defaults?

A company can invest funds for five years at LIBOR minus 50 basis points. The five-year swap rate is 4%. What fixed rate of interest can the company earn by using the swap?
