Buryecs Co's bank rate payment

KKira4y ago
Good evening, Sir. As I am not good in SWAP, could Sir kindly explain why Buryecs Co paid BR+0.6% instead of BR+0.4%? I would appreciate if Sir is willing to allocate your time on answering this question. Thanks and Regards.

They don't :-) If Buryecs were to borrow fixed and the counterparty borrowed floating then in total they would be paying 4% + (BR + 0.4%) = BR + 4.4% If Buryecs were to borrow floating and the counterpart borrowed fixed, then in total they would be paying (BR + 0.6%) + 5.8% = BR + 6.4% So what they should do is for Buryecs to borrow fixed and the counterpart borrow floating, which would save a total of 2% (before bank charges) and then swap so that each pays the othersinterest. Have you watched my free lectures on swaps?
