If BT had hedged its U.S. dollar interest rate swap with P&G, explain how BT would have lost twice when the deal collapsed

What will be an ideal response?


BT lost once when P&G refused to pay its side of the deal. If BT hedged the P&G deal, then any gains it made from P&G would have been offset (except for a small spread) by losses to its hedge counterparties. P&G's refusal to pay did not nullify BT's obligation to pay the counterparties with whom it hedged. Therefore, BT would have lost twice.
