A reverse interest rate collar is the simultaneous purchase of an interest rate floor and simultaneously selling an interest rate cap. The objective is to protect the bank from falling interest rates. The buyer selects the index rate and matches the maturity and notional principal amounts for the floor and cap.
The researcher [2] decided that to assess the appropriateness of an interest rate cap as a policy instrument (or whether other approaches would be more likely to achieve the desired outcomes of government) it was vital to consider what exactly makes up the interest rate and how banks and MFIs are able to justify rates that might be considered excessive.
In an interest rate collar, the investor seeks to limit exposure to changing interest rates and at the same time lower its net premium obligations. Hence, the investor goes long on the cap (floor) that will save it money for a strike of X +(-) S1 but at the same time shorts a floor (cap) for a strike of X +(-) S2 so that the premium of one at ...

The Fed's rate hikes sent interest expense for S&P 500 companies soaring. The expense rose 64.3% in the second quarter to $37.21 per share, the highest levels since the second quarter of 2008.
The Black model extends Black-Scholes from equity to options on futures, bond options, swaptions, (i.e. options on swaps), and interest rate cap and floors (effectively options on the interest rate). The final four are numerical methods, usually requiring sophisticated derivatives-software, or a numeric package such as MATLAB.
If you borrowed $20,000 with a 60-month personal loan at a 9% interest rate, you’d repay roughly $24,900 — or $4,900 in interest over the life of your loan.
Its primary applications are for pricing options on future contracts, bond options, interest rate cap and floors, and swaptions. It was first presented in a paper written by Fischer Black in 1976. Black's model can be generalized into a class of models known as log-normal forward models.
