Question:

A swap was agreed in the past, with swap rate \(K_{2}=6 \%\) and a notional of \(\$ 100\) million. A payment occurred three months ago, and the LIBOR rate was reset to \(5 \%\), with semiannual compounding. Payments will occur in 3, 9, and 15 months, and the current term structure of (continuously compounded) rates is given by Table 4.3. We want to find the swap value from the fixed payer viewpoint.
