HDave | Make sure to convert annual LIBOR% to 1.5 yrs and 2 yrs rate!! |
aravinda | 0.0975 is the annualized rate...so to get the fixed payments you got to convert it back.... or just take the 'non-annualized rate" of 0.04875 and multiply it by 20 million |

I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
