Therefore,Labtech entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement on January 1, 2021, and designated the swap as a fair value hedge.The agreement called for the company to recelve payment based on an 6% fixed interest rate on a notional amount of $252,000 andto pay Interest based on a floating interest rate tied to LIBOR. The contract called for cash settlement of the net interest amount onDecember 31 of each year.Floating (LIBOR) settlement rates were 6% at inception and 7%, 5%, and 5% at the end of 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. The fairvalues of the swap are quotes obtained from a derivatives dealer.
