Hello,
I have badly stuck in understanding how 4.7% is being used for calculating underlying cost of borrowing if interest rates increase by 0.5% to 4.3%.
The similar technique was used for the case comparison if interest rates decrease by 0.5%.
It was used 3.7% for underlying cost of borrowing.
I know it’s a petty matter but seems I can’t move on until I have cleared this point completely.
Thank you,
Daiva
The question says that they can borrow at LIBOR plus 40 basis points (which is 0.40%).
So if LIBOR is 4.3% then they will pay 4.3 + 0.4 = 4.7%. If LIBOR is 3.3% then they will pay 3.3 + 0.4 = 3.7%.
