JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Paraguas should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt.

Lluvia should choose funding in floating rate

Explanation:

Paraguas wants the security of fixed rate borrowing; thus it should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt, in which Libor is 5.500%; their total cost at 7.5% is still lower than Fixed rate 12.0%

Lluvia prefer the flexibility of floating rate borrowing, and its rating is better; then it can enjoy lower cost of borrowing at 5%. However it may face the increase if LIBOR increase later; vice versa if LIBOR decrease, its cost of borrowing is able to reduce also.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: $13.25

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that an oral auction has bidders willing to pay $4, $6, $9, $12, $13, and $15 for an item.

Based on the above scenario, the winning bidder will pay a little more than $13 or $13.25. This is because the bidder with the highest pay is willing to pay $15 but since the next person is willing to pay $13, that means the next bidder will price it at an amount that is a little bit above $13 which is $13.25.
