Part (ii) also asks for the value, which is why figures from the SOFP are needed. (Appreciate in the exam that the terms P&L and Balance Sheet will not be used - the names changed years ago. It is Statement of profit or loss, and Statement of financial position.) Comparative advantage is where the difference in the two fixed rates is less than the difference in the two floating rates (or vice versa). Absolute advantage is not relevant.
