2.      (18 pts) Pratt Company has 2-year, $150,000 loan from a bank on January 1, 2012 with interest payments occurring at the end of each year. The interest rate for the first year is 10% and the rate in the second year will be equal to the prevailing market interest rate on January 1 of that year. But Pratt does not want to bear the uncertainty of second year interest change and wants to pay fixed interest with 10% for 2013. Thus, Pratt entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to this loan. Under the terms of the swap agreement, Pratt will receive a swap payment based on the principal amount of $150,000. If the January 1 of 2013 interest rate is greater than 10 percent, Pratt will receive a swap payment for the difference; and if the January 1of 2013 interest rate is less than 10 percent, Pratt will make a swap payment for the difference. The swap payments are made on December 31 of 2013. On January 1, 2013, the interest rate is 12 percent.
