Is the fixed leg rate annually or semi?

[@fillia4233]

You did not go into details. Hard to get.

[@evazhao01]

how does company A reduce his cost of borrowing? since he prefers floating rate, he can just borrow at Libor instead of entering the swap contract with company B, no? I think in the table company A's floating borrowing cost should be Libor+0.5% and company B's floating borrowing cost should be Libor. That's when the opportunity of swapping starts to show.

[@csanton3946]

company B is at a disadvantage in comparison to A in terms of borrowing cost. Company B knowing how much of an advantage Company A has, decides to invite company A into a deal (swap) by incentivizing company A. Company B instead acts to be the lender of Company A by giving Company A what A originally wants which is Libor PLUS now the incentive of company B which is a fixed rate higher than Company A's fixed cost rate. The only way for Swaps to work is both parties shre their respective borrowing cost position and options, from there the parties can carefully structure a deal which will be beneficial to both of them with one party (1) getting the same plus incentive; while other party getting the lowest rate he can get and paying for it I don't know bu this is really like arbitrage
