On 23 April 2022, the closing price of the May 2022 30-day interbank cash rate contract was 98.11. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) had a board meeting scheduled for 3 May 2022 and the current overnight cash rate was 2 per cent per annum. On 23 April, what was the probability implied by the price of the May 2022 30-day interbank cash rate contract that the RBA would decrease the cash rate to 2 per cent at its May meeting? Do not include the percentage symbol. For example 10% should be written as '10' in the answer box.

A bank agrees a repurchase agreement (Repo) with its prime broker using £30 million of Mortgage Backed Securities as collateral for a period of 50 days. The prime broker levies a haircut of 10 per cent and charges an annual Repo rate of 4.5 per cent. What is the price at which the bank will repurchase the £30 million MBS at the end of 50 days when the Repo rate interest applies only on the sum of money being lent by the prime broker ? Use a 360 day-count.

The demand D (in billions of £) for a bond with coupon rate 5% and face value FV = 1000, and two years to maturity as a function of its price P is D = 4000 − 2P. The supply in (billions of £)as a function of the price of the bond is S = 2P + 400. b) Suppose that the yield to maturity of the bond is i = 0.05. What is the quantity demanded/supplied at this interest rate? What happens to the demand/supply of the bond as the interest rate increases? Explain why. c) What is the equilibrium interest rate? d) Suppose that the bond trades at premium. Is there excess demand or supply? Explain. e) There is a business cycle contraction, so both supply and demand shifts. After the shift, the new demand curve is given by: D = 4000 + X − 2P , whereas the new supply curve is S = 2P + 200. For which values of X will the interest increase/decrease? Which values of X are in line with empirical data?
The Philippine debt as of today amounts to 12 trillion. This balloons with an interest rate of 0.16% yearly. Suppose the government requires every earning individual to pay the debt by 2030, how much each of us would need to pay monthly (annual payment amortized in 12 equal payments), assuming that inflation is 3%, the interest rate is 5.6%compounded daily, and we will start the payment by the end of 2022? The Philippines is estimated to have 110million people, with the work force of around 20%.
