Use the following spot rates to answer the following questions. Maturity Spot rate (%) 1 year 4.93% 2-years 4.47% 3-years 4.12% 5-years 3.84% 10-years 3.68% Assume that Citibank is offering to sell a one-year Treasury bill next year with a rate of 5% (i.e., you can enter into a contract today to lock in a 5% return on a one-year security purchased/sold next year). Based on the above spot rates, does the Citibank offer generate any arbitrage opportunities? If so, compute the total $ profits that can be generated from this opportunity, specifying the steps you would take. Assume you will borrow/invest $1,000. O Yes: profit of $5.55/ $1000 borrowed. O No: $0 O No: Loss of $5.55/ $1000 borrowed.based on Citibank's offered rate. O Yes: $55.55/$1000 borrowed.

Assume the following for a one-year rate adjustable rate mortgage loan that is tied to the one- year Treasury rate and has monthly payments: Loan amount:150,000 Annual rate cap:2% Life-of-loan cap:5% Margin:2.75% First-year contract teaser rate:5.50%One-year Treasury rate at end of year 1:5.25% One-year Treasury rate at end of year 2:5.50% Loan term in years:30 years   Given these assumptions, calculate the following: a) Initial monthly payment; b) Loan balance end of year 1; c) Year 2 contract rate; d) Year 2 monthly payment; e) Loan balance end of year 2;f) Year 3 contract rate; g) Year 3 payment.

A 3/1 ARM is made for $150,000 at 7 percent with a 30-year maturity.a. Assuming that fixed payments are to be made monthly for three years and that the loan is fully amortizing, what will be the monthly payments? What will be the loan balance after three years?b. What would new payments be beginning in year 4 if the interest rate fell to 6 percent and the loan continued to be fully amortizing?c. In (a) what would monthly payments be during year 1 if they were interest-only? What would payments be beginning in year 4 if interest rates fell to 6 percent and the loan became fully amortizing?

A floating rate mortgage loan is made for $185,000 for a 30-year period at an initial rate of 12 percent interest. However, the borrower and lender have negotiated a monthly payment of $1,480.   Required: a. What will be the loan balance at the end of year 1? b. If the interest rate increases to 13 percent at the end of year 2, how much is the payment plus negative amortization in year 2 and year 5 if the payment remains at $1,480?

The interest rate on a GIC is 3.45% compounded semi-annually. What is the purchase price of the GIC if it has a maturity value of $36,566 in 3 years and 11 months?

Two debts, the first of $1100 due nine months ago and the second of $1700 borrownd one year ago for a term of four years at 6.9% compounded annuall, are to be replaced by a single payment one year from now. Determine the sze of the replacement payment if interest is 6.1% compounded quarterly and the focal date is one year from now. The size of the replacement payment is S3159.34 (Round to the nearest cent as needed. Round all intemediate values to six decimal places as needed.)

If the interest rate is 10% and compounding is semiannual, what series of equal annual transactions is equivalent to the following series of semiannual transactions?
