Problem 4

Carter Enterprises can issue floating-rate debt at $\mathrm{LIBOR}+2 \%$ or fixed-rate debt at $10.00 \% .$ Brence Manufacturing can issue floating-rate debt at $\mathrm{LIBOR}+3.1 \%$ or fixed-rate debt at $11 \%$. Suppose Carter issues floating-rate debt and Brence issues fixed-rate debt. They are considering a swap in which Carter will make a fixedrate payment of $7.95 \%$ to Brence, and Brence will make a payment of LIBOR to Carter. What are the net payments of Carter and Brence if they engage in the swap? Will Carter be better off to issue fixed-rate debt or to issue floating-rate debt and engage in the swap? Will Brence be better off to issue floating-rate debt or to issue fixed-rate debt and engage in the swap?
