What is the net fixed rate that microsoft effectively ends


Suppose that Microsoft borrowed $100 million for 3 years at LIBOR+0.1% (i.e. Microsoft has a floating rate liability). Microsoft is concerned about the interest rate going up, so they want to convert this into a fixed rate liability. At the same time, Intel has a similar loan, but borrowed at a fixed rate of 5.1%. Intel wants to convert this into a floating rate liability. Assume that both companies enter the same swap agreement. Microsoft agrees to pay Intel a fixed rate of 4.9%, while Intel agrees to pay to Microsoft LIBOR-0.1% through the swap.

What is the net fixed rate that Microsoft effectively ends up paying? What is the net effective borrowing rate for Intel?
