On January 2, 2014, Sloan Company issued a 5-year, $9,370,000 note at LIBOR with interest paid annually. The variable rate is reset at the end of each year. The LIBOR rate for the first year is 6.8%.

Sloan Company decides it prefers fixed-rate financing and wants to lock in a rate of 6%. As a result, Sloan enters into an interest rate swap to pay 7% fixed and receive LIBOR based on $9,370,000. The variable rate is reset to 7.5% on January 2, 2015.
