Question 4 Dell Computers would like to borrow pounds, and Virgin Airlines wants to borrow dollars. Because Dell is better known in the United States, it can borrow on its own dollars at 5.2 percent and pounds at 9.6 percent, whereas Virgin can on its own borrow dollars at 6 percent and pounds at 10.0% a. Suppose Dell wants to borrow 10 million for two years, Virgin wants to borrow $16 million for two years, and the current ($/) exchange rate is $1.60.

(5 marks) c. Draw a figure illustrating one way the swap in part (b) might be entered into. | d. For part (b) what savings are realized by Dell and Virgin?
