QUESTION: 41

H has a floating rate loan that it wishes to replace with a fixed rate. The cost of the existing loan is LIBOR + 4%. H would have to pay a fixed rate of 8% on a fixed rate loan. H's bank has found a potential counterparty for a swap arrangement.
The counterparty wishes to raise a variable rate loan. It would pay LIBOR + 1% on a variable rate loan and 9% on a fixed rate.
The bank will require 10% of the savings from the swap and H and the counterparty will share the remaining saving equally.
Calculate H's effective rate of interest from this swap arrangement.

H would pay 6.2%
H would pay 6%
H would pay Libor + 1%
H would pay 6.4%
