Answer:

1)

The net after-swap cost of funds for the bank if the cash market liabilities are included in the analysis is determined with the use of following table:

	Thrift	Bank
Cash Outflow from Balance Sheet	-(LIBOR + 2%)	-6%
Cash Inflow from Swap	6%	+LIBOR
Cash Outflow from Swap	-LIBOR	-6%
Net Cash Flow	8%	LIBOR
Variable Rate		LIBOR
Fixed Rate	8%

2)

The net after swap yield on assets for the bank is FIXED ASSET AT 1 %.
