Questions 1:
A swap that involves the exchange of a fixed payment for a floating payment is most likely equivalent to a series of:
A 、off-market forward contracts.
B 、forward contracts that all have an initial positive value.
C、 forward contracts that all have an initial value equal to the fixed payment

B 、the exercise price exceeds the value of the underlying.
C、 the exercise value is negative.
View answer resolution
【Answer to question 1】A
【analysis】
A is correct. Because the cost of carrying an asset over different time periods will vary, the values of the implicit forward contracts embedded in the swap will not be equal: some may be positive, and some may be negative. Off-market forward contracts satisfy this condition because they can be set at any value.
B is incorrect. Because the initial market value of the swap is zero by definition, it cannot be replicated by a series of forward contracts with an initial positive value.
C is incorrect. Because the cost of carrying an asset over different time periods will vary, the prices of the implicit forward contracts embedded in the swap cannot all be equal.
【Answer to question 2】B
【analysis】
B is correct. If the exercise price exceeds the value of the underlying at expiration, the option has positive exercise value and may be exercised.
A is incorrect. An out-of-the-money option should not be exercised and will expire worthless.
C is incorrect. An option that generates a negative cash flow when exercised should not be exercised.
成功=时间+方法，自制力是这个等式的保障。世上无天才，高手都是来自刻苦的练习。而人们经常只看到“牛人”闪耀的成绩，其成绩背后无比寂寞的勤奋。小编相信，每天都在勤奋练习，即使是一点点的进步，大家一定可以成为人人称赞的“牛人”。
