Dervatives - can you please explain?

Consider a 1-year quarterly-pay $1,000,000 equity swap based on 90-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and an index return. Current LIBOR is 3.0% and the index is at 840. Below are the index level and LIBOR at each of the four settlement dates on the swap. LIBOR Index Q1 3.2% 881 Q2 3.0% 850 Q3 3.4% 892.5 Q4 3.9% 900 At the final settlement date, the equity-return payer will: A) receive $97. B) pay $97. C) pay $16,903. D) receive $16,903. Your answer was incorrect. The correct answer was A) receive $97. The equity return payer will pay the equity return and receive the floating rate return which is based on the Q3 realized LIBOR. [0.034 × (90/360) − (900/892.5 − 1)] × 1,000,000 = $96.64
