Janutis Co. has just issued fixed rate debt at 10 percent. Yet it prefers to convert its financing to incur a floating rate on its debt. It engages in an interest rate swap in which it swaps variable rate payments of LIBOR plus 1 percent inexchange for payments of 10 percent. The interest rates are applied to an amount that represents the principal from its recent debt issue in order to determine the interest payments due at the end of each year for the next three years. Janutis Co. expects that the LIBOR will be 9 percent at the end of the first year, 8.5 percent at the end of the second year, and 7 percent at the endof the third year. Determine the financing rate that Janutis Co. expects to pay on its debt after considering the effect of the interest rate swap.

On January 1, 2023, Fontaine Corporation issued an $800,000 notes payable to Allegheny StateBank. The note pays coupon payments at the rate of 5%, which is also the market rate of interestwhen the note was issued. The note matures in three years. Fontaine Corporation entered into aninterest rate swap with the same maturity and notional amount to hedge against falling interestrates. The swap will result in Fontaine Corporation paying floating rate interest tied to theprevailing LIBOR rate and receiving fixed rate interest at 5%. Interest payments and cashsettlement occur at the end of each year. LIBOR settlement rates at the end of 2023, 2024, and2025 are 6%, 7%, and 6%, respectively.a) Prepare the required journal entries for Fontaine Corporation using the shortcut methodfor 2023-2025.b) Indicate how the above entries affect Fontaine Corporation’s reported net earnings foreach year.
Desert Trading Company has issued $100 million worth of long-term bonds at a fixed rate of 7%. The firm then enters into an interest rate swap where it pays LIBOR and receives a fixed 6% on notional principal of $100 million. What is the firm’s effective interest rate on its borrowing?
Delta Company issues 10,000,000 variable-rate debt at par with a coupon rate of 6% on 1/1/X1 that pays interest quarterly and enters into an interest-rate swap that is used to hedge the debt to produce fixed-rate debt. The swap has a fair value of zero initially. The swap resets each quarter on the last day of the quarter and is perfectly effective. At 12/31/X1 the variable rate changes to 6.5%, which will cause a change in fair value of the derivative. Prepare any journal entries for 12/31/X1 & prepare any journal entries for 3/31/X2. 6.00% Swap Change Date Interest paid Fair value debt Fair value fair values Net cash 12/31/X1 $150,000 $10,000,000 $174,900 $174,900 $0 3/31/X2 $162,500 $10,000,000 $165,200 ($9,700) $12,500
The Latham Corporation is planning on issuing bonds that pay no interest but can be converted into $1,000 at maturity, 7 years from their purchase. To price these bonds competitively with other bonds of equal risk, it is determined that they should yield 6 percent, compounded annually.

Your answer should be between 3.34 and 5.43, rounded to 2 decimal places, with no special characters.
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.
On January 1, 2024, Avalanche Corporation borrowed $120,000 from First Bank by issuing a two-year, 8% fixed-rate note with annual interest payments. The principal of the note is due on December 31, 2025. Avalanche wanted to hedge against declines in general interest rates, so it also entered into a two-year SOFR-based interest rate swap agreement on January 1, 2024, and designates it as a fair value hedge. Because the swap is entered at market rates, the fair value of the swap is zero at inception. The agreement called for the company to receive fixed interest at the current SOFR swap rate of 5% and pay floating interest tied to SOFR. This arrangement results in an effective variable rate on the note of SOFR + 3%. The contract specifies that the floating rate resets each year on June 30 and December 31 for the net settlement that is due the following period. In other words, the net cash settlement is calculated using beginning- of-period rates. The SOFR rates on the swap reset dates…

Suppose you have a 2.5-year remaining on an interest rate swap with a notionalprincipal of $10, 000, 000 between Company A and Company B. Company A pays fixed rateand Company B pays the float rate. Fixed and float payments are exchanged every year andthe last payment was exchanged 6 months ago. The fixed rate is 3.5% per annum, and thefloating rate is tied to the annual LIBOR. The previous 1-year LIBOR rate, set 6 months ago,is 2.75%, 6 month LIBOR is 3.25%. the 1.5-year LIBOR is 3.25%, and the 2.5-year LIBOR is3.50%.Calculate the present value of the fixed and floating legs of the swap, and determine the swap’snet present value from Company A’s perspective. Assume annual compounding for discounting.

Assume that if interest rates fall, the bonds will be called. What coupon rate should the bonds have in order to sell at par value?
