I'm not sure, but I think the rationale behind A) is that it takes into account the bid and ask swap rates provided by the bank

Haha, this reminds me of that time I got a question about hedging in my finance exam. Took me forever to figure it out, but I nailed it in the end. I'm sure I can do this one too!

Okay, let's see... HHH Company wants to swap to a variable rate, and the bank is quoting 3.1% bid and 3.5% ask. Hmm, I think the answer might be C, but I better double-check my work.
