How much money (in dollars) will a FI expect to make during the coming quarter on its 3-month BA futures (BAX) transaction if it uses BA futures (face value = $1 million per contract) to fully hedge a $7 million negative interest rate gap and 3-month BA rates rise to 1.80% by the end of the coming quarter? You should factor in a 2 basis point dealer spread on your BA-futures closing-out transaction. Currently the FI can buy BA futures at 98.42 and sell BA futures at 98.38.
