【Answer to question 1】（B）

【analysis】

Forward rate agreements are used to hedge interest rate exposure present in the money market

【Answer to question 2】（B）

【analysis】

A swap is a series of forward payments. Specifically, a swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange a series of future cash flows. The corporation receives fixed interest rate payments and makes variable interest rate payments. Given that the contract is for one year and the floating rate is based on three-month LIBOR, at least four payments will be made during the year.
