Friends, Updating here the recollected questions from Dec 2017 Exams. Wish you all the very best for your exam.

A forward purchase contract for USD 500,000.00 booked 2 months back at 49.2500 is due for delivery 2 days later (spot date). The customer is informed by the drawee of the bill that the payment will be delayed by one month.
Given that the interbank spot is 47.5675/5775 and one month forward premium is 09/10 paise, and margin on TT buying and TT selling would be 0.15%, calculate rate for cancellation of the existing contract and also give indicative rate for re-booking of one month fixed date or option contract beginning one month from spot date.
Also, calculate the amount to be debited/credited to the customer's account on spot date, upon cancellation of the contract.
Answer
(a) The existing forward contract would have been booked at TT buying rate, and hence it has to be cancelled at opposite TT selling rate, computed as under;
Interbank USD/INR spot (higher of the two) -
Add Margin 0.15% - 0.0714
47.5775 + 0.0714 = 47.6489
The contract would be cancelled at = 47.65 (Round 47.6489)
Rupee amount at contracted rate USD 500,000 @ 49.2500 = Rs 2,46,25,000
Less amount at cancellation rate USD 500,000 @ 47.6500 = Rs 2,38,25,000
Amount due to the customer (to be paid to his account on spot date) - Rs 8,00,000
(b) Indicative rate for contract proposed to be re-booked;
If the contract is booked with option of one month beginning spot date;
Interbank rate - 47.5675
Less: Margin 0.15% - 0.0714
47.5675 - 0.0714 = 47.4950 (Round 47.4961)

Case Study on Macauley/Modified duration
Assume a bond has a three-year maturity, pays a 10% coupon, and that interest rates are 5%.
Find Macauley duration and Modified duration.
This bond, following the basic bond pricing formula would have a market price of:
100 / (1.05) + 100 / (1.05)^2 + 1,100 / (1.05)^3 = 95.24 + 90.70 + 950.22 = 1,136.16
Next, using the Macauley duration formula the duration is calculated as:
Macauley duration = (95.24 * 1 / 1,136.16) + (90.70 * 2 / 1,136.16) + (950.22 * 3 / 1,136.16) = 2.753
This result shows that it takes 2.753 years to recoup the true cost of the bond. With this number, it is now possible to calculate the modified duration.
To find the modified duration, all an investor needs to do is take the Macauley duration and divide it by 1 + (yield-to-maturity / number of coupon periods per year). In this example that calculation would be:
Modified duration = 2.753 / (1.05 / 1) = 2.621
This shows that for every 1% movement in interest rates, the bond in this example would inversely move in price by 2.621%.
