Companies A and B have been offered the following rates per annum on a $20 million 5-year loan, and a bank, acting as intermediary, will charge 0.10% per annum (10 basis points) to arrange and manage the swap, which appears equally attractive to A and B. Fixed Rate Floating Rate Company A 5.0% LIBOR + 0.10% Company B 6.4% LIBOR + 0.60% Company A requires a floating-rate loan, and company B requires a fixed-rate loan. If Company A pays LIBOR to the bank, and the bank pays LIBOR to Company B, what rate will Company A receive from the bank? (please enter your answers as percentages, for instance answer 9.0 to indicate 9.0%).
Total cost if Company A borrows floating and B borrows fixed = LIBOR+0.10%+6.4%
= LIBOR + 6.5%
Total cost under Swap i.e. when Company A borrows fixed and B borrows floating
= 5% + LIBOR + 0.60%
= LIBOR + 5.60%
Total gain under swap = 0.9%
Charged by Intermediary = 0.10%
Shared by A and B = 0.80%
economic gain of each firm = 0.80%/2 = 0.40%
Net Cost to A = Original cost - Savings under Swap
= LIBOR+0.10%- 0.40%
i.e. LIBOR - 0.30%
Paid by A to bank = LIBOR
Hence, to be received by A = Interest rate under Swap - Net Cost +Paid
= 5% + LIBOR - (LIBOR - 0.30%)
= 4.7%
