Answer:

$2,660

Explanation:

The market value is the present value of expected future cash flows.

Expectation is that swap will pay (300,000) (0.04317) and receive (300,000) ( 0.0525), and these payments would be made at end of one year.

Then, market value = ((300,000)(0.0525) - (300,000)( 0.04317)) / (1 + 0.0525)

Market value = 2799 / 1.0525

Market value = 2659.38

market value = $2,660

Therefore, the market value of the swap from the perspective of the payer is $2,660.
