A company can borrow funds at LIBOR minus 50 basis points. There is a swap available where one side pays 7% and the other side pays LIBOR-1%. The company is concerned that interest rates will increase and, thus, wants to change the nature of its liability from paying floating to paying fixed rate. What rate can the company pay on its lability after it engages in the swap?

Company A and B have been offered the following rates per annum on a £50 million, 10 - year loan. Company A borrows at a fixed rate of 6% and floating rate of (LIBOR + 0.4)%. Company B borrows at a fixed rate of 7% and a floating rate of (LIBOR + 0.6)%. a) Company A requires a floating rate loan, whereas company B requires a fixed rate loan. In which market does company A have a comparative advantage? Design at least two different swaps that will give a bank, acting as an intermediary 0.6% p.a. and that will appear equally attractive to both companies. Explain how to achieve this, using diagrams and text. b) Design a Swap that is the most beneficial to company A. Explain using text and diagram. c) Suppose that company A has an asset worth £10 million yielding an interest of 7%. Suppose that A is a company based in Japan. Explain how it can use a currency swap to transform the asset to an asset paying Yen (currency in Japan).
Suppose a bank enters a repurchase agreement in which it agrees to buy Treasury securities from a correspondent bank at a price of $25,950,000, with the promise to buy them back at a price of $26,000,000. a. Calculate the yield on the repo if it has a 5-day maturity. b. Calculate the yield on the repo if it has a 15-day maturit
Company A can borrow money at a fixed rate of 9 percent or a variable rate set at prime plus 1 percent. Company B can borrow money at a variable rate of prime plus 2 percent or a fixed rate of 8.25 percent. Company A prefers a fixed rate and company B prefers a variable rate. A swap dealer can bring them together for a commission of 1% on the swap deal. a) Compute the potential gain for the concerned parties through the swap deal? b) Show a swapping arrangement, ensuring that both Company A and B are better off and the swap dealer gets the 1% cut.
Suppose that at the present time, one can enter 5-year swaps that exchange LIBOR for 5%. An off-market swap would then be defined as a swap of LIBOR for a fixed rate other than 5%. For example, a firm with 11% coupon debt outstanding might like to convert to synthetic floating-rate debt by entering a swap in which it pays LIBOR and receives a fixed rate of 11%. What up-front payment will be required to induce a counterparty to take the other side of this swap? Assume notional principal is $95 million. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

Calculate the all-in cost of borrowing for Alpha and Beta, respectively.
Carter Enterprises can issue floating-rate debt at LIBOR + 2% or fixed-ratedebt at 10%. Brence Manufacturing can issue floating-rate debt at LIBOR +3.1% or fixed-rate debt at 11%. Suppose Carter issues floating-rate debt andBrence issues fixed-rate debt. They are considering a swap in which Cartermakes a fixed-rate payment of 7.95% to Brence and Brence makes a payment of LIBOR to Carter. What are the net payments of Carter and Brence ifthey engage in the swap? Would Carter be better off if it issued fixed-ratedebt or if it issued floating-rate debt and engaged in the swap? Would Brencebe better off if it issued floating-rate debt or if it issued fixed-rate debt andengaged in the swap? Explain your answers.
