A bank is considering using a “three against six” $2,000,000 FRA to cover its potential loss. The purpose of the FRA is to cover the interest rate risk caused by the maturity mismatch from having made a six-month Eurodollar loan and having accepted a three-month Eurodollar deposit. The agreement rate with the buyer is 4.6%. There are actually 92 days in the three-month FRA period. Which one of following statements is correct? Group of answer choices If the settlement rate is 4.8% three months from today, then the buyer pays the seller. To hedge the loss caused by maturity mismatch, the bank should be a seller of the FRA. Without the FRA, the bank will lose if the market interest rate drops at the end of three months. If the settlement rate is 4.8% three months from today, then the FRA is worth $1009.84 To hedge the risk caused by maturity mismatch, the bank could take the buyer’s position if it uses the Euro-Dollar Interest Rate Futures…

Warning: Rounding in the calculation of monthly interest rates is discouraged. Such rounding can lead to answers different from those presented here. For long-term loans, the differences may be pronounced. Use the Estimation Rule for Long-Term Loans to estimate the monthly payment on a loan of $200,000 at an APR of 6% over a period of 25 years. The monthly payment is at least $
1. Suppose that a loan of $9,000 is given at an interest rate of 2% compounded each year. Assume that no payments are made on the loan. Follow the instructions below. Do not do any rounding. (a.) Find the amount owed at the end of 1 year. $_____?(b.) Find the amount owed at the end of 2 years. $_____? 2. If the rate of inflation is 2.5% per year, the future price p(t) (in dollars) of a certain item can be modeled by the following exponential function, where t is the number of years from today. p(t)=2000(1.025)t Find the current price of the item and the price 10 years from today. (Roud your answers to the nearest dollar as necessary.) Current Price: $_____?Price 10 years from today: $_____?
The margin on an adjustable-rate mortgage is 2.5% and the rate cap is 5% over the life of the loan. If the current index rate is 8.2%, find the maximum overall rate (as a %) of the loan. 11.3 X %
Assume a bank has the following (very simplified) balance sheet. 1)Assets Mortgages Fixed rate, 15 year, annual payments, both the coupon rate and yield-to-maturity are 8% Floating rate, 15 year, rate: LIBOR + 2%, (duration = 0) 2)Liabilities Overnight deposits, rate: 0.6%, (duration = 0) 2 year CD, rate: 2%, assume it is a zero coupon 3 year CD, rate: 4%, assume it is a zero coupon 3) Assignment: Calculate weights which will immunize the portfolio. Note this is a set of weights, there is not one unique solution. You don't have to calculate the full set, just some set of weights which immunizes the portfolio. Now say you can only invest 50% of your assets in floating rate mortgages. What is the minimum amount of interest rate risk you can have? What will happen to the value of your portfolio if interest rates increase by 1%?
6. Based on Exhibit 7-7, or use of a financial calculator, what would be the monthly mortgage payments for each of the following situations? (LO7.3) a. A $160,000,15-year loan at 4.5 percent. b. A $215,000, 30-year loan at 5 percent. c. A $190,000, 20-year loan at 6 percent.
