an interest rate that adjusts as oppose as a fixed rat

what swap changes payments

currency swap

Going long on a stock involves

buying the stock and hoping the price goes up in the future (long means buy)

forward equilibrium price

a reverse carry abritrage

forward price is BELOW market equilibrium

a stock no , interest rate immediately increases, forward price will:

increase

Company rates at AAA will be able to borrow at a ____ rate than company BBB

lower

the FRA quotes 3 (first three months) x6 (FRA) length of the loan means:

maturity of the contract Isi 90 days (6-3)
