Consider the following borrowing costs faced by the following 3 companies:

Company A

Fixed rate

7.0%

Floating rate

LIBOR + 0.1%

Company B

Fixed rate

6.5%

Floating rate

LIBOR - 0.1%

Company C

Fixed rate

7.3%

Floating rate

LIBOR + 0.2%

If company A wants to borrow floating-rate funds, what is the lowest possible cost of funds that this company could achieve? Assume that if any two companies enter into the swap transaction, they split the possible savings equally.

Hint: consider all possible ways that company A could borrow floating-rate funds.
