Lluvia Manufacturing and Paraguas Products both seek funding at the lowest

possible cost. Lluvia would prefer the flexibility of floating rate borrowing, while

Paraguas wants the security of fixed rate borrowing. Lluvia is the more credit$-$

worthy company. They face the following rate structure. Lluvia, with the better

credit rating, has lower borrowing costs in both types of borrowing.

$$ Lluvia wants floating rate debt, so it could borrow at LIBOR$+1\%.$ However it could

borrow fixed at $8\%$ and swap for floating rate debt. Paraguas wants fixed rate, so

it could borrow fixed at $12\%.$ However it could borrow floating at LIBOR$+2\%$ and

swap for fixed rate debt. What should they do$?$
