Now suppose there is no financial intermediary to handle liquidity shocks. However, at t = 1 a market for bonds opens up and agents can trade their wealth at t = 1 for wealth at t = 2. Each bond pays 1 at t = 2 and its price is pM. Calculate the consumer's optimal investment decision IM at t = 0, the price of the bond pM, and the optimal consumption in the two states cM, cM. Compare the mutual fund and bond market allocations: are c4 and c bigger or smaller than cf and c, respectively?

45. A organisation intends to collect $1,000,000 to fund the construction of a new factory. Which of the comments below is the most accurate?a. Where a fixed rate loan rather than a variable rate bond is used to collect the million dollars, the risk of the loans would be smaller.b. If interest is required to collect the million dollars, the risk of the debt would be cheaper if it is issued as a mortgage rather than a term loan.c. Where the million dollars were collected by debt, however $500,000 is raised as a first mortgage bond on the new plant and $500,000 as debentures, the interest cost on the first mortgage bonds would be lower than if the whole $1 million were generated by the sale of first mortgage bonds.d. If the company's management believes that interest rates are almost likely to increase in the near future, it will be particularly eager to include a call clause included in the indenture.e. None of the above assertions are true.

Assume you are a junior member of the IPC (Investment Policy Committee) of a money management firm that manages a large pension fund. 10% of the investments, approximately $100,000,000 are invested in companies that are foreign and operate exclusively in the Eurozone (Those countries that operate as members of the European Union and use the euro as the single currency). The IPC is concerned about the recent instability of the Euro and asks you to work up some recommendations on how to hedge that portion of the portfolio that is exposed to currency and interest rate risks, as well as any other risks you may perceive.
Royal Bank of Belgium (RBB) will be worth €100 million or €120 million with equal probability in one year. RBB is highly leveraged and has bonds outstanding promising to pay €90 million next year. RBB is considering a risky project that will payoff €50 million or -€65 million with equal probability. Would RBB’s shareholders want you to engage in the risky project? What is the expected payoff to RBB’s existing shareholders? How would your answers change if the bondholders could convert the bond to 80% of RBB’s equity?
If you solve for what fraction of your wealth (y) you should invest in the risky asset and you get the answer of 1.4, what does this mean? Assume you can borrow at the risk free rate. a) That you should invest 100% of your wealth in the risky asset b) That you should invest 140% of your wealth in the risky asset by borrowing at the risk free rate c) That you should short 140% of the risky asset and invest in the risk free asset d) That you should invest somewhere between 100% and 140% of your wealth in the risky asset by borrowing at the risk free rate.
