Canadian Government Bonds are traded and quoted based on yield to maturity (YTM). The actual settlement clean price depends on the number of coupons available. For bonds with a single remaining coupon, the bond trades at a pure discount (i.e., like a money market instrument). For bonds with multiple remaining coupons, these are priced with a special formula.

If an American swaption is exercised at a point that is not a reset date, in practice, the effective Libor rate at the point of exercise is a blended rate, which is linearly interpolated from a pair of Libor rates with respective accrual periods that bracket the remaining time interval to the next reset date. The effective Libor rate at the exercise point is taken to be the simple interest rate implied from the zero-coupon bond price to the next reset date. This treatment represents a compromise between accuracy and computational efficiency, since it avoids having to determine bracketing Libor rate values.

A pricing model is presented for pricing cancelable fixed-for-floating interest rate swap. Here, party A makes regular payments that depend on the average level of a Libor rate over a set of Asian observation points, while party B makes upfront fixed rate payments.
