B has a S3 million loan outstanding on which the interested rate is reset every 6 months for the following 6 month and the interested is payable at the end of that 6 month period. The next 6 monthly reset period starts in 3 months and the treasurer of B thinks interested rates are likely to raise between and then.

Current 6-month rates are 6.4% and the treasurer can get a rate of 6.9% for a 6-month forward rate agreement (FRA) starting in 3 months time. By transacting an TRA the treasurer can lock in a rate today of 6.9%.

If interested rates are 7.5% in 3 months’ time, what will the net amount payable be?
