I need tutor help in solving the first part on derivative (swaps and variable interest rate)

Oracle Corporation: Share-Based Compensation Effects/Statement of Shareholders' Equity485variable-interest-rate obligation; the variable rate in the swap is intended to track the variablevate used by the supplier to revalue the note while it is outstanding. The swap causes FD's inter-est payments to vary as the variable interestnterest rate changes, but it locks the value of the notepayable at $100,000, and thus qualifies the swap as a hedge of value changes in an existingiability. Under the terms of the swap, the counterparty (the bank) resets the interest rate eachDecember 31. Assume that the interest rate is reset to 3% at December 31, 2017, and to 59% atDecember 31, 2018. Interest rates remain steady from that date forward.REQUIREDUse the financial template used throughout the chapter to record the financial statement effectsand journal entries of these transactions and events through December 31, 2019.Part B.REQUIREDRepeat Part A assuming that the 4% interest rate is variable and that the supplier resets the interestrate each December 31 to establish the interest charge for the next calendar year. In this case, FDwants to protect its future cash flows against increases in the variable interest rate to more than theinitial 4% rate, so it contracts with the bank to swap its variable-interest-rate obligation for a fixed-interest-rate obligation. The swap fixes the firm's annual interest expense and cash expenditure to4% of the $500,000 note. FD designates the swap contract as a cash flow hedge.INTEGRATIVE CASE 7.1WalmartIt is common practice for retail outlets to lease their store locations and distribution centers.Walmart is no exception.
