- 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?arrow_forwardCounterparty A can borrow from the floating rate market at LIBOR + 0.5% and Counterparty B can borrow from the Eurobond market at 7%. If Counterparty A pays 7.35% into the swap and Counterparty B pays the LIBOR rate plus 0.5% into the swap, then the overall cost to borrow by Counterparty B is: a. 7.85% b. LIBOR + 0.5% С. 7% d.

To this end, Phoenix and Epitome bank come to an agreement of a swap arrangement, whereby Epitome receives fixed-rate payments from Phoenix's mortgages, equaling 8%. In exchange, Phoenix receives variable payments from Epitome, equaling the LIBOR rate (the interbank lending rate for Eurobanks). Assume that Phoenix's cost of funds (or the rate owed on its deposits) is equal to the LIBOR rate, less 1%. The following table details the swap arrangement from the point of view of Phoenix bank for various possible values of LIBOR.
