A Bank has entered in a long 180-day FRA on the 90-day Treasury rate with the agreed-upon rate of 2.5 percent. The notional amount is $7.1 million.

Calculate the amount you expect to receive on day 270 using the difference between the new forward rate and the agreed-upon rate. Discount it back from day 270 to day 90 using the rate that is for this interval = the Solution is 1,403.16 Provide a detailed answer
