LIBOR is used as a reference rate for floating rate . dollardenominated loans worldwide. 30 Forward Markets and Contracts Example: LIBORbased loans Compute the amount that must be repaid on a $1 million loan for 30 days if 30day LIBOR is quoted at 6%. Answer: The addon interest is calculated as $1 million x x (30/360) = $5,000. The borrower would repay $1,000,000 + $5,000 = $1,005,000 at the end of 30 days. 31 Forward Markets and Contracts LIBOR is published daily by the British Banker39。s Association and is piled from quotes from a number of large banks。 some are large multinational banks based in other countries that have London offices.

For longerterm floatingrate loans, the interest rate is reset periodically based on the thencurrent LIHOR for the relevant period. 32 The short in a deliverable forward contract: A. has no default risk.
