Question

The credit - worthiness of debt issued by companies is assessed at the end of each year by a credit rating agency. The ratings are A ( the most credit - worthy), B and ( debt defaulted). Historic evidence supports the view that the credit rating can be modelled as a Markov chain with one- year transition matrix: p= [0.92 0.05 0.03

0.05 0.85 0.1

0 0 1

Determine the probability that a company currently rated A will never be rated B in the future

AFFLUENT 27.1% Sh72,000 (in 1994) 7.5% MIDDLE CLASS 8.5% Sh24,000 (in 1994) 30.4% POOR (i) Use the transitions shown in the diagram to construct a transition matrix (assuming zero probabilities for the transitions between affluent and poor). (ii) Assuming that the trend shown was to continue, what percent of households' classified as affluent in 1980 -1991, were predicted to become poor in 1993? (iii) According to the model, what percentage of all Kenyan households will be in each income bracket in the long term?

A study conducted by the Urban Energy Commission in a large metropolitan area indicates the probabilities that homeowners within the area will use certain heating fuels or solar energy during the next 10 years as the major source of heat for their homes. The following transition matrix represents the transition probabilities from one state to another. Electricity 10.2 Natural Gas Fuel Oil Solar Energy Elec. Gas Oil 0.60 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.85 0.10 0.08 Solar 0 0.10 0.02 0.75 0.08 0.15 0.08 0.05 0.84 Among homeowners within the area, 20% currently use electricity, 35% use natural gas, 40% use oil, and 5% use solar energy as the major source of heat for their homes. In the long run, percentage of homeowners within the area will be using solar energy as their major source of heating fuel? (Round your answer to one decimal place. Assume the trend continues.)
