    Hi John, can i ask a question regarding TAD and tax saving ?

    1. just to summarize, there are two ways to calculate TAD

    first one is by simply multiplying TAD rate to get the TAD amount.

    second one is by multiplying TAD rate and TAX SAVING rate to get the TAD amount.

    is it correct ?

    you have mentioned that both give the same answer but how can both have the same answer ? first one did not multiplied tax saving amount to get TAD while second multiplied tax saving to get the TAD amount.

    does it mean that if it wasn’t up to 6 months. What happens if it was up to one month ?

    then since the question is asking for in five months, we can’t use this rate ?

    (Sorry John let me rephrase it)

    for 25,000 us dollar i’m not still not sure why we have to use forward…. we can also use futures isn’t ?

    lecturer in the video states that examiner wants us to use the forward rate, so mandatorily we simply use forward rate for any short fall( eg in this question, 25,000 US dollars ) for the option questions like this ??

    so what you are saying is that when one company enters into a forex swap with another party, one can not only swap the currency with another party(using government swap rate) but also buy the other party currency’s loan(using government swap rate) ??????

    I mean when we take out the loan to buy the foreign currency in order to swap back with the counter party, the loan we buy the foreign currency should be based on spot rate isn’t ?

    because forex swap rate offered by the bank is literally for the purpose of swaping currency. Therefore shouldn’t we suppose to use spot rate to buy the loan in order to swap back with the counter party ?
