Libor is London Inter-bank Offer Rate and Libid is London Inter-bank Bid Rate. Libor is always higher than Libid. If banks use Libor to lend (ask) and Libid to buy (bid) how come that while one bank expects to get a higher rate while lending hope to get a lower rate while borrowing? While one bank buys the other sells; while it is a bid rate to one it is offer rate to the other! How is it that this market function? Is it because the bid rate is expected to decrease within a day and the offer rate expected to increase simultaneously to keep-up with the margins in the inter-bank market?

12 percent per annum and 2 percent above libor which is favorable?

"2% above Libor" would mean a percentage that is 2 percent more than the Libor rate. You would have to get the current rates (there are different rates for different conditions), add 2%, and then compare.
