This seems similar to a practice question where we calculated the effective rate after a swap. I think the fixed rate minus the swap rate is key here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think we might need to add the swap rate to LIBOR to find the net rate.

I remember that when swapping from fixed to variable, we need to consider the difference between the fixed rate and the swap rate.
