Required: A. Calculate the value of the rate sensitive assets, rate sensitive liabilities and the repricing gap over the next year. B. Calculate the expected change in the net interest income for the bank if interest rates rise by 1 percent on both rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. C. If a bank manager was quite certain that interest rates were going to rise within the next six months, how should the bank manager adjust the bank’s one-year repricing gap to take advantage of this anticipated rise? What if the manager believed rates would fall in the next one year?

| 3 month T-Bills | 37.50 | 3 month CDs | 50.00 |
| 6 month T-Bills | 43.75 | 3 months Bankers Acceptances | 25.00 |
| 3 year T-Bonds | 75.00 | 6 month commercial paper | 75.00 |
| 10 year, fixed rate mortgages | 25.00 | 1 year time deposits | 25.00 |
| 30- year floating rate mortgages | 50.00 | 2-year time deposits | 50.00 |
| premises | 6.25 | - | |
| Total | 337.50 | 337.50 |
