Eg: EOC reading 38 question 2 How to get the duration of four year pay floating receive fixed swap with quarterly payments. I understood that for fixed leg it is 75% of 4 years. But how did they get 0.125 for the floating leg?
For floating leg you take average of minimum (0) and maximum (cupon pay period). For a quarterly floating leg: (0+0.25)/2 = 0.125
Thnx a lot janardhanc
The general formula is
[(1/Q)/2] - N x 0.75
if semi-annual Q = 2
N is number of years
