Two companies have investments which pay the following rates of interest:
Fixed : Firm A 6% , Firm B 8%
Float: Firm A Libor , Firm B Libor + 0.5%
Assume A prefers a fixed rate and B prefers a floating rate. If an intermediary charges both parties equally a 0.1% fee and any benefits are spread equally between Firm A and Firm B. If an intermediary charges both parties equally a 0.1% fee and any benefits are spread equally between Firm A and Firm B, what rates could A and B receive on their preferred interest rate?
