Suppose that a bank has made a large number of loans of a certain type. The one-year probability of default on each loan is 1.5% and the recovery rate is 30%. Tha bank uses a Gaussian copula for time to default. Use Vasicek model to estimate the default rate that we are 99.5% certain will not be exceeded. Assume a copula correlation of 0.2.

What steps are used to calculate the average daily balance? Many credit cards charge an 18%-24% annual interest. Do you think this is fair? Do you think this is a justifiable rate? Should rates be lower for certain age groups or individuals or for different types of credit cards or for different income levels and if so why or why not? Defend your answer.

In the following cash flow diagram A7=A8=A9=1000, and starting with A10, deposits start decreasing in the amount of 40. However, due to a cash problem, you miss a payment at month 12 but continue with your original payment plan thereafter (that is, A10=960, A11=920, A12=0, A13=840 etc).

- Optimizing economic agents use the real interest rate when thinking about the economic costs and returns of a loan. Suppose the average rate paid by banks on savings accounts is 0.65% at a time when inflation is around 1.45%. For the average saver, the real rate of interest on his or her savings is %. (Round your response to two decimal places and use a minus sign if necessary.) If banks expect that the rate of inflation in the coming year will be 4.45% and they want a real return of 5.5% on a certain category of loans, then the nominal rate they should charge borrowers on those loans is %.

- AMRO Financials is quite certain that interest rates are going to decrease next month. How should the bank manager adjust the bank’s one-month repricing gap to increase the net interest income when interest rates decrease The bank should set its repricing gap to a positive position. In this case, as rates decrease, interest income will decrease by less than the decrease in interest expense. The bank should set its repricing gap to a negative position. In this case, as rates decrease, interest expense will decrease by more than the decrease in interest income. The bank should set its repricing gap to a positive position. In this case, as rates decrease, market value of assets will increase by more than the increase in market value of liabilities. The bank should set its repricing gap to a negative position. In this case, as rates decrease, market value of assets will increase by more than the increase in market value of liabilities.arrow_forwardOptimizing economic agents use the real interest rate when thinking about the economic costs and returns of a loan.

- Problem: A company's credit policy is based on terms of net 60, but it expects to average a days sales outstanding in the coming yeat of T dayn on estimated credit sales of $15 million. Its bad debt losses are expected to average 3% of sales Another policy is being considered which involves more strict credit standards. This policy would be based on terms of net 30, an expected das sales outstanding of 34 days, estimated credit sales of $14 million, and a bad debt loss rate of 2% of sales. Its variable cost ratio is 60%, and its cost of borrowing short-term is 5%. If it switches to the new policy, what will be the expected change in interest expense?arrow_forwardCreate the spreadsheet models shown in below images and answer the following questions. a. What is the effect of a change in the interest rate from 8% to 10% in the spreadsheet model shown in Figure A? b. For the original model in Figure A, what interest rate is required to decrease the monthly payments by 20%? What change in the loan amount would have the same effect? c. In the spreadsheet shown in Figure B, what is the effect of a prepayment of $200 per month?

A score of 850 is the best (highest) score possible. Thirty-five percent of the FICO score is based on payment history for credit cards, car loans, home mortgages, and so on. Suppose your current FICO score is 720 and you have just missed a credit card payment due date and have incurred a late payment fee! If your FICO score will drop 10% in the “payment history” category because of the late payment on your credit card, what is your new FICO score?arrow_forward
