X is an AAA-rated bank and Y is a BBB-rated company. Based on the nature of the cash flows, X should borrow floating and Y should borrow fixed. Their external borrowing costs are shown below:

(2) Based on your answer in (1), perform a fixed-for-floating interest rate swap for X and Y through a swap bank. Write in the values (interest rates) for A, B, C, D, E, and F on the diagram
(3) Calculate the savings in the borrowing costs (interest rates) for X and Y with the interest rate swap.
(4) Calculate the profit of the swap bank in the interest rate swap D=
