Suppose that over the next year, one of three things could happen to a company's credit rating. It could remain investment grade, drop to non-investment grade or default. The value of a credit derivative that pays $100 in 1-year if the company's credit rating remain investment grade is $93. The value of a credit derivative that pays $200 in 1-year if the company's credit rating drops to non-investment grade is $7.

A business plans to borrow approximately $40 million in short-term funding through the issue of commercial paper in three months’ time. The business does not have a view on what is likely to happen to interest rates over the next three months, but it would be very satisfied if it could obtain its funding at the current yield. Using the following data, show how 90-day bank-accepted bills futures contracts can be used to hedge the interest rate risk to which the business is exposed. Show the calculation and timing of all transactions and cash flows (ignore transaction costs and marginrequirements). Today’s data: current commercial paper yields 6.00 per cent perannum 90-day bank-accepted bills futures contract 93.75. Data in threemonths: commercial paper yields 7.00 per cent perannum 90-day bank-accepted bills futures contract93.25.

Consider two 1-year loans with a principal of $1 million and a default probability of 2% each. Assume that if one loan defaults, the other does not. Assume that in the event of default, the loan leads to a loss that can take any value between $0 and $1 million with equal probability, i.e., the probability that the loss is higher than $ ? million is 1 − ?. If a loan does not default, it yields a profit equal to $0.02 million. a) Compute the 1-year 99% Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) of a single loan.
