On January 1,2017, the company entered into a two-year P100,000 variable interest rate
loan. In the first year of the loan, the interest rate is 10%. In its second year, the interest
rate is equal to the prime lending rate on January 1,2018. The company does not want to
bear the risk associated with the uncertain interest rate in the second year. Accordingly,
on January 1,2018, the company enters into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate
swap with a speculator. The swap obligates the company to pay the speculator a fixed
amount of P10,000 (100,000 x .10) on December 31,2018. In return, the company will
receive from the speculator on December 31,2018 a variable amount received from the
speculator on December 31,2018 a variable amount equal to P100,000 multiplied by the
prime lending rate on January 1,2018. This amount received from the speculator is
exactly enough to pay the interest due on the variable-rate loan in 2018. Typically,
interest rate swaps such as this are settled with a single net cash payment rather than the
actual payment of P10,000 and receipt of the variable amount.
What net amount will the company pay or receive on December 31,2018 if the prime
lending rate on January 1,2018 is 15%.
