Amortization of inception Gain/Loss (AMRT)

First Amortization and revaluation are performed on 31-May-2000

Inception Gain = 1200 – 1000 (Contract FV – Option Premium) = 200 USD

This amount is to be amortized from 31-Mar-2000 to 31-Mar-2003 (36 Months * 30) days.

Amortization is performed based on the actual number of days in a year. However, for this example you assume 360 days in a year and 30 days in a month.

Amortized inception gain till 31-May-2000 = 200 * (2*30) / (36*30) = 11.11 USD

Revaluation of Option (REVL)

Assume that the Contract Fair Value as on 31-MAY-20000 is 1100 USD.

Revaluation Gain on Inception was 1200 (Contract FV on Inception) – 1000 (Option premium) = 200 USD.

Current Revaluation Loss = 1000 (Option Premium) – 700 (FV on 31-Aug-2000) = 300 USD

Rate Fixing (RTFX) and Exercise of Option (EXER)

According to the Rate fixing Lag, Reset Basis and Reset Date Movement, Rate fixing event (RTFX) take places on 25-Sep-2000 and settlement amount are determined.

If 6M LIBOR is 11% on 25-Sep-2000 then

Settlement amount = 50000 * (11-9)% * 180 / (360*100) = 500 USD

Actual settlement for this amount happens on 30-Sep-2000.

The event RTFX is triggered on every rate fixing date. Event EXER and EXST is triggered depending on whether the option is in the money or not on the rate fixing date.

Final Settlement

Now suppose the option is in-the money on the last rate fixing date (Final settlement). The following events and accounting entries are processed.

Rate Fixing event (RTFX) is on 26-Mar-2003.

If 6M LIBOR is 12% on 26-Mar-2000 then

Settlement amount = 50000* (12-9)% * 180 / (360*100) = 750 USD

Revaluation on final Settlement is triggered @ Current FV (Settlement amount).

Last Revaluation Gain= 50 USD (Assumed)

Current Revaluation Loss= 1000 (Option premium) – 750 (Settlement amount) = 250 USD
