You are the treasurer of a Golden Eagle Corporation that, one year ago, funded an investment project
Fantastic news! We've Found the answer you've been seeking!
Question:
You become concerned that interest rates will rise substantially and wish to convert the remaining 2-year floating-rate (that is, variable-rate) loan into a 2-year fixed rate loan. You can enter a 2-year swap in which the fixed rate payer pays the fixed rate of 2.60% and the floating-rate payer pays the 6-month SOFR rate. The net payments on the swap will occur semi- annually exactly on the same days that your corporation has to pay interest on its floating-rate loan.
1) How can you convert your corporation's floating-rate loan into a synthetic fixed rate loan?
2) What is the annual interest rate that your corporation will pay on its synthetic fixed rate loan?
