3. Calculate the outright swap. Here again there can be two possibilities.<br />

a) The crack spread is available.<br />

Apply the crack spread on the RIC to the calendar strip on the RIC<br />

. Both the calendar strip <strong>and</strong> crack spread are expressed in USD/BBL. The<br />

conversion factor has to be applied to obtain the outright swap in USD/TONNE.<br />

b) The crack spread is not available.<br />

In this case the interpolation <strong>and</strong> extrapolation techniques are employed.<br />

Interpolation – If the data has to be calculated for maturity period(s) in between two<br />

periods having data then interpolation is used.<br />

Extrapolation – If the data has to be calculated for maturity period(s) before periods<br />

having data (rare case) or further than periods having data then extrapolation is used.
