Sarazan Company issues a 4-year, 7.5% fixed-rate interest only, nonprepayable $1,000,000 note payable on December 31, 2019. It decides to change the interest rate from a fixed rate to variable rate and enters into a swap agreement with M&S Corp. The swap agreement specifies that Sarazan will receive a fixed rate at 7.5% and pay variable with settlement dates that match the interest payments on the debt. Assume that interest rates have declined during 2020 and that Sarazan received $13,200 as an adjustment to interest expense for the settlement at December 31, 2020. The loss related to the debt (due to interest rate changes) was $48,000. The value of the swap contract increased $48,000.
