1-4. What is the value of these notes at the 2007 balance sheetdate? Read the excerpt from

Note 10.

Prior to 2007, the Company had entered into interest rate swapagreements relating to its $385 million 6.5% senior unsecured notesdue 2012 and… Under each of these interest rate swapagreements, the Company pays the London InterBank Offered Rate(LIBOR) plus a margin every six months on the notional amount ofthe debt [what amounts to the market price of thedebt], and receives payments based on the fixedstated rate of the notes every six months until the date the notesbecome due [this is why it is called aswap]. Under the agreement related to its$385 million 6.5% senior unsecured notes due 2012, the averagefloating rate paid during 2007 is estimated to be 7.31 percentbased on actual and forward rates at December 31, 2007.

The primary objective for the Company’s use of interest ratehedges is to reduce the volatility of net interest income by bettermatching the repricing of its assets and liabilities. The Company’sinterest rate swap agreements qualify as fair value hedges, asdefined by SFAS 133. The fair values of the interest rate swapagreements, which are adjusted regularly, are recorded in theConsolidated Balance Sheet, as necessary, with a correspondingadjustment to the carrying value of the long-term debt. The fairvalue of the interest rate swap agreements, excluding accruedinterest, at December 31, 2007, was an asset of approximately $16million and is recorded in “Other deferred liabilities” in theConsolidated Balance Sheet. In accordance with fair value hedging,the offsetting entry is an adjustment to increase the carryingvalue of long-term debt. See Note 7. [we will discuss theaccounting for fair value hedges (and cash flow hedges) inInternational Accounting]
