Finance

Companies X and Y have been offered the following rates per annum on a $5 million 10-year investment:

Fixed Rate

Floating Rate

Company X

8.0%

LIBOR

Company Y

8.8%

LIBOR

Company X requires a fixed-rate investment; company Y requires a floating-rate investment.

  1. Assuming X and Y split the gains from the swap in such a way that X gets 60% of the gains and Y gets 40% of the gains, what are the net investment rates that X and Y can get?

  1. If a Financial Intermediary (FI) charges 0.2% a year (split equally between X and Y), how would this affect the final rates that the two parties are receiving?

  1. Illustrate the swap between X and Y in the presence of a financial intermediary with the help of a diagram. Please make sure that all rates are properly labeled.
