They are quoted: for AA - fixed: 7.4 per cent; floating: BBSW plus 2 per cent; for B - fixed: 8.8 per cent; floating: BBSW plus 2.2 per cent. If AA accepts the fixed-rate funds and BB the floating-rate funds, then they both decide they can reduce their cost of funds through a swap, structure a swap where they both benefit equally.
