• has a principal balance of $100 million on June 30, 1998,
• accrues interest quarterly starting on June 30, 1998,
• pays interest quarterly,
• has a one-year term to maturity, and
• calculates interest due based on 90-day LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate).

a. Explain why strategy B is a more effective hedge than strategy A when the yield curve undergoes an instantaneous nonparallel shift.
