    Hi, in Pault question b) ii.

    Can you explain to me how the interest payment liability works? I do not know where do they get the figures in the yield interests of 2.9% and 4.5%.

    Thank you v much.

    In future, please state which exam the question is from – I cannot remember the name of every question in every exam :-). (This question is from the December 2016 exam).

    If the yield interest is 2.9%, then on the borrowing they will pay interest of 2.9 + 0.5 = 3.4%. $400M x 3.4% = $13.60

    The swapping will mean that they receive interest at 2.9 – 0.2 = 2.7%.
    $400M x 2.7% = $10.80M
    They will also pay interest on the swap of 4.847% (per the question). 4.847% x $400M = $19.39M

    Finally, they will pay bank changes of 0.25%. $400M x 0.25% = $1M.

    It is the same workings when using yield interest of 4.5%.
