Exercise 17-24 Your answer is incorrect. Try again. On January 2, 2017, waterway Co. issued a 4-year, $130,000 note at 8% fixed interest, interest payable semiannually. waterway now wants to change the note to a variable-rate note As a result, on January 2, 2017, Waterway Co. enters into an interest rate swap where it agrees to receive 8% fixed and pay LIBOR of 7.60% for the first 6 months on $130,000. At each 6 month period, the variable rate will be reset. The variable rate is reset to 8.60% on June 30, 2017. (a) Compute the net interest expense to be reported for this note and related swap transaction as of June 30, 2017 Net interest expense June 30, 2017 10400 (b) Compute the net interest expense to be reported for this note and related swap transaction as of December 31, 2017, Net interest expense December 31, 2017 10400
