3. The profit generated by the subsidiary in the U.K. is considered as a good source of money to be used to pay for the import of manufacturing equipment from Japan for the electronic component plant in the U.S.A.

The supplier is willing to provide HighTech 3 years to pay for the equipment that will be shipped to HighTech, but the payments must be conducted with quarterly instalments of 5,250,000 Yen by the U.K. subsidiary. This is why the CEO wants you to construct a currency swap arrangement where the profits of the U.K. subsidiary can be used to pay for the equipment. You have to apply the swap bank quotes to conduct this three year swap and also depict the swap graphically for the CEO to see how the swap will work.
