Ripping Ltr has 50m fixed rate loan on which it pays int at the rate of 7.8% per year. The company would like to undertake a swap agreement with a bank to exchange the fixed rate commitment for a floating rate Commitment. A swap bank is prepared to pay a fix rate of int of 7.5% per year and to receive LIBOR in return. LIBOR during the first year was 7.1%
What is the effective interest rate for the company for the first year of the swap agreement.
Answer is 7.4%
I don’t understand pls show me the working.
I think this answer is wrong
Where is the question from?
Usually, the effective rate per annum or for the first year can be calculated by subtracting the LIBOR rate from the fixed rate offered by the swap bank.
