Question:

23. Suppose that at the present time, one can enter 5-year swaps that exchange LIBOR for 8%. An off-market swap would then be defined as a swap of LIBOR for a fixed rate other than 8%. For example, a firm with 10% coupon debt outstanding might like to convert to synthetic floatingrate debt by entering a swap in which it pays LIBOR and receives a fixed rate of 10%. What up-front payment will be required to induce a counterparty to take the other side of this swap?
Assume notional principal is $10 million.
