Consider two loans with a 1-year maturity and identical face values: a(n) 8.3% loan with a 0.99% loan origination fee and a(n) 8.3% loan with a 4.9% (no-interest) compensating balance requirement. Which loan would have the higher effective annual rate (EAR)? Why? The EAR in the first case is %. (Round to one decimal place.)
In a discount interest loan, you pay the interest payment up front. For example, if a 1-year loan is stated as $34,000 and the interest rate is 9.50%, the borrower “pays” 0.0950 × $34,000 = $3,230 immediately, thereby receiving net funds of $30,770 and repaying $34,000 in a year.

Company A and B have been offered the following rates per annum on a £50 million, 10 - year loan. Company A borrows at a fixed rate of 6% and floating rate of (LIBOR + 0.4)%. Company B borrows at a fixed rate of 7% and a floating rate of (LIBOR + 0.6)%. a) Company A requires a floating rate loan, whereas company B requires a fixed rate loan. In which market does company A have a comparative advantage? Design at least two different swaps that will give a bank, acting as an intermediary 0.6% p.a. and that will appear equally attractive to both companies. Explain how to achieve this, using diagrams and text. b) Design a Swap that is the most beneficial to company A. Explain using text and diagram. c) Suppose that company A has an asset worth £10 million yielding an interest of 7%. Suppose that A is a company based in Japan. Explain how it can use a currency swap to transform the asset to an asset paying Yen (currency in Japan).
