Company Coinbase is looking to expand its business and considering to borrow from
the market. Coinbase has been offered the rates per annum on a $500 million 5-year
loan by its bank: (SOFR: Secured Overnight Financing Rate) shown below. With the
quotes from its bank, the floating rate is cheaper given the SOFR is 3% at present.
However, the board of Coinbase fears that the interest rate will continue rising and
think it is too risky to have variable liability in a medium time horizon. They wish to
borrow with a fixed liability. Company Biance on the other hand, is to seek
opportunities by having floating exposure. The offered rates per annum on a $500
million 5-year loan for Biance are also shown below. Design a swap contract that can
facilitate the objectives of Coinbase and Biance. The swap contract should be equally
beneficial to both companies.
