Question

However, since the bank's economists are of the view that short-term interest rates may fall in the near future, ACB decided to lend money to Unity at a discounted rate of LIBOR plus 2 percent in return for an interest-rate floor of 4.5 percent. What amount of interest rebate will the bank receive, if LIBOR drops to 1.5 percent from 2.5 percent immediately after lending the amount?

A. $7,500

B. $20,000

C. $22,500
