Suppose the central bank wishes to increase the money supply by $500 million and
does so by purchasing one-year zero coupon bonds from an economic agent to
increase bank reserves. If the central bank buys bonds with an interest rate of 2.5%,
how many bonds must they buy to reach their targeted increase in the money supply?
Assume the required reserve ratio is 10% and commercial banks fully loan out. Hint:
you will need to use the money multiplier in this answer as well as bond pricing - a zero
coupon bond is a promise to pay $1000 in one year. Assume there is no currency in the
Onyx Corporation has a S200, 000 loan that will mature in one year. The riskfree interest rate is 6 percent. The standard deviation in the rate of changein the underlying asset's value is 12 percent, and the leverage ratio for Onyxis 0.8 (80 percent) . The value for N(hl) is 0.02743, and the value for N(h2)is 0.96406. What is the current market value of the loan?

- Many companies look to re-finance their outstanding debt when interest rates fall significantly. Javert Toy Company has $50.00 million in debt outstanding that pays an 8.75% APR coupon. The debt has an average maturity of 10.00 years. The firm can refinance at an annual rate of 5.25%. That is, investors want 5.25% today for bonds of similar risk and maturity. How much will Javert save on interest payments with this re-finance? You can assume that Javert will issue debt to cover the full price of repurchasing the old debt from part A. (answer in terms of millions, so 1,000,000 would be 1.00) Submit Answer format: Currency: Round to: 4 decimal places.arrow_forwardThe 3 year USD bond issued by Company A has coupon of 11.5%, which the company thinks is too high. In fact the bond price has since risen substantially and current yield is 9.5%. The company thinks due to recent successful fund raising, interest rate will fall. Hence it wants to do interest rate swaps to change the payment from fixed rate to floating rate. Assuming that a bank is willing to do the trade up to USD notional of 1 million USD, it needs to consider the following facts to quote a price. Please give your best estimate, and rationale. 1. With the current 3 year USD swap rate of 1.4%, and bank receives the 11.5% coupon (payment is every 6 months, what is the Company’s credit risk premium? 2. If the Bank pays the Company 11.5% fixed rate to cover the coupon payment, what is the fair price the Company needs to pay the bank (assuming that the floating rate index is the 6 month Libor rate, currently at 1.72%)? 3. Please consider the credit risk premium the bank need to charge…arrow_forwardYou are considering investing $10,000 in either U.S. Treasury bills or bank certificates-of-deposits (CDs). Suppose 6-month U.S. Treasury bills and 6-month bank CDs are both yielding 4.50% annually. Both investments are considered "default- risk free." Which investment shouldyou probably select. Briefly explainarrow_forward
- A corporate customer obtains a $2 million loan from a bank. The annual spread between the interest rate of this loan and the bank’s cost of fund is 6%, and this bank charges an annual fee of 2.8%. The expected probability of default of this borrower is 9.6%, and the loss given default is 30.7%. Calculate the expected return on this loan based on Moody’s analytics portfolio manager model. Round your answer up to 4 decimal places in decimal term, i.e., enter 0.1234 instead of 12.34%.arrow_forwardSuppose the rate of return on a 10-year T-bond is 5.30%, the expected average rate of inflation over the next 10 years is 1.50%, the MRP on a 10-year T-bond is 0.90%, no MRP is required on a TIPS, and no liquidity premium is required on any Treasury security. Given this information, what should the yield be on a 10-year TIPS? Disregard cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average. a. 2.90% b. 3.80% c. 4.33% d. 4.40% e. 2.86%arrow_forwardA) On the fixed income side, the fund has issued £500m 5 year bonds, semi-annual pay, floating rate notes with coupons equal to 180 day LIBOR plus 30 basis points. Now, one year later, the risk manager is worried that the interest rates might rise over rest of tenor of the issue. Hence, the firm decide to go long into a 3 year payer swaption with a fixed rate of 2.5%, semi-annual pay, with N.P of £500m. For simplicity, assume that swap and FRN have the same settlement dates. At the swap initiation, 180 day LIBOR is at 3% and 360 day LIBOR is at 3.5%. Required: Show the net settlement in 180 and 360 days? Show the firm the has effectively eliminated the uncertainty associated with FRN by entering into a swap?arrow_forward
- Stuck on this question. Long-term Borrowing Company (LBC) is raising new capital by selling bonds. Its investment bankers have estimated that if the company sets the coupon rate for the new bonds at 8% paid semiannually, it can sell them in the market for $1,102 per bond. The new bonds will have 15 years to maturity. The bankers have estimated that the cost of selling the new bonds will be $25 per bond. What is the company’s after-tax cost of new debt for this new financing if its tax rate is 30 percent? I see in another solution that the before tax cost of debt is 7.1546%. I don't understand the calculation to get that percentage.arrow_forwardAn insurance company must make payments to a customer of $20 million in 1 year and $8 million in 5 years. The yield curve is flat at 10%. If it wants to fully fund and immunize its obligation to this customer with a single issue of a zero-coupon bond, what maturity bond must it purchase? (in years, use four decimal places) What must be the face value and market value of that zero-coupon bond? (in millions, use two decimal places)arrow_forwardNow suppose a financial institution has a duration gap of -4 years and $5 million in assets. The cheapest to deliver bond for Treasury futures contracts has a duration of 3 years. How will the manager hedge this interest rate risk?

- A bank buys bonds for $34 million. The bonds' par value is $35 million, the coupon rate is 9 percent, and the bonds make annual payments. The bonds mature in four years, but the bank's investment horizon is just two years. If the bank estimates the required rate of return in two years will be 8 percent, what is the bank's annualized expected yield on this investment if it sells at the expected price in two years? ans should be 11.52%arrow_forward9. A company plans to borrow $10 million for 90 days, 180 days from today. The type of FRA and the position that the company should take on this FRA to hedge its interest rate risk is most likely: FRA Position A. 3 x 6 long B. 6 x 9 long C. 6 x 3 shortarrow_forwardABC Co. has a large amount of variable rate financing due in one year. The management is concerned about the possibility of increases in short-term rates. Which would be an effective way of hedging this risk?a. Buy Treasury notes in the futures market.b.
