Answer: USD 78,325
The correct answer is B. Savers Bancorp would receive USD 78,325 on August 9, 2016. This is calculated by determining the net settlement amount based on the 6-month LIBOR rate at February 9, 2016, which is the rate that will yield the payoff on August 9, 2016. Savers Bancorp receives a fixed rate of 4.00% on the notional amount of USD 6.5 million for the 6-month period, which amounts to USD 130,000 (USD 6,500,000 * 4.00% * 0.5). On the other hand, Savers Bancorp pays LIBOR plus 1.20%, which at the 0.39% LIBOR rate for the period results in a payment of USD 51,675 (USD 6,500,000 * (0.39% + 1.20%) * 0.5). The difference between what Savers Bancorp receives and pays is USD 78,325, which is the net amount they would receive.
