Basic Question 8 of 12

Consider a European receiver swaption that expires in two years and is on a one-year swap that will make quarterly payments. The swaption has an exercise rate of 6.5%. The notional principal is $100 million. At expiration, the term structure of interest rates is as follows:

L0(90) = 0.0373; L0(180) = 0.0429; L0(270) = 0.0477; L0(360) = 0.0538.

What is the market value of the swaption at expiration?
