Consider the borrowing rates for Parties A and B. A wants to finance a $100,000,000 project at a fixed rate. B wants to finance a $100,000,000 project at a floating rate. Both firms want the same maturity, 5 years. Firm Fixed Rate Floating A $ 10.3 % Prime + 1% B $ 8.9 % Prime + 1/2% Construct a mutually beneficial interest only swap that makes money for A, B, and the swap bank in equal measure. Assume that Party B pays prime rate to swap bank while the swap bank pays prime rate to party A. In that situation, what rate should the swap bank pay to Party B. A) 9% B) 8.7% C) 8.9% D) Prime + 1% E) None of the above

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i.e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
