Compute the net interest expense

On January 2, 2018, Tylor Company issued a 4-year, $600,000 note at 8% fixed interest, interest payable semiannually. Tylor now wants to change the note to a variable rate note. As a result, on January 2, 2018, Tylor Company enters into an interest rate swap where it agrees to receive 8% fixed and pay LIBOR of 5.5% for the first 6 months on $600,000. At each 6-month period, the variable interest rate will be reset. The variable rate is reset to 6.6% on June 30, 2018.

Compute the net interest expense to be reported for this note and related swap transaction as of December 31, 2018.
