Based on the provisions of the swap, Party A will pay $6,000 and receive $8,000.

<h3>How much will Party A pay?</h3>

Party A will pay the total return of 6% on the equity index capital:

= 6% x 100,000

= $6,000

<h3>How much will Party A receive?</h3>

Party A is to receive the rate of LIBOR + 3%. LIBOR is 5% so Party A will receive:

= 5% + 3%

= 8%

Total return is:

= 8% x 100,000

= $8,000

In conclusion, Party A will pay $6,000 and receive $8,000.
