A swap arrangement converts the firms borrowings to a


A corporation has issued a $16 million issue of floating-rate bonds on which it pays an interest rate 0.8% over the LIBOR rate. The bonds are selling at par value. The firm is worried that rates are about to rise, and it would like to lock in a fixed interest rate on its borrowings. The firm sees that dealers in the swap market are offering swaps of LIBOR for 5%. A swap arrangement converts the firm’s borrowings to a synthetic fixed-rate loan. What interest rate will it pay on that synthetic fixed-rate loan?
