Chimichango Industries has decided to borrow $50,000,000.00 for six months in two three-month issues. As the Treasurer, you are concerned that interest rates will rise over the next three months and the rate upon which the second payment will be based will be undesirable. (The amount of Chimichango's first payment will be known at origination.)

In order to hedge her exposure, the dealer buys LIBOR from Megabuks Industries at its bid rate of 5.85%. (Assume a notional principal of $50,000,000.00 and that there are 60 days between month 3 and month 6.)
-Refer to Exhibit 14-6. How much compensation does the dealer receive for transaction costs, credit risk and other costs associated with matching the FRA's?
