How companies engage in an interest rate swap


Problem:

Assume that Company A has a fixed rate of 6.00% and a floating rate of LIBOR +1.40% and Company B has a fixed rate of 7.00% and a floating rate of LIBOR + 1.70%. Determine how these companies could engage in an interest rate swap to decrease their cost of financing. (Hint: you will need to assume an agreed upon rate that makes this swap possible) What would you expect to happen to the spreads in the floating and fixed rate markets?
