You inform USF that two swaps will be needed to transform their debt.Swap 1 will transform the currency, leaving USF with, effectively, -denominated debt. Swap 2 will accomplish USF's floating-rate objective.You provide them with the following two cash flow worksheets based on some hypothetical LIBOR rates over the next three years.Every number you write down has to have the appropriate currency prefix (either or $) and has to have parentheses around the number if it is a cash outflow.Also, please note that the all interest rates are in yearly form whereas the cash flows occur every six months!If there are 2 cash flows that come very close to cancelling out but do not, adjust the notional principal of swap 2 to make them cancel each other out.
