Suppose your firm is seeking a four year, amortizing $260,000 loan with annual payments and your bank is offering you the choice between a $268,000 loan with a $8,000 compensating balance and a $260,000 loan without a compensating balance. The interest rate on the $260,000 loan is 9.8 percent. How low would the interest rate on the loan with the compensating balance have to be for you to choose it? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Interest rate %

You have a choice between receiving $550 now or $570 in six months' time. Current interest rates are 10% p.a. (simple interest). a) As a rational investor, which option would you choose, and why? b) Calculate the minimum interest rate p.a. that would reverse your choice above.

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 $x million is 1-x. 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. b) Compute the 1-year 99% VaR and ES for the portfolio of both loans. c) Does the VaR and the ES satisfy the subadditivity property in this case?

Suppose you are in the market for a new car worth $18,000. You are offered a deal fo make a S1,800 down payment now and to pay the balance in equal end-of-month payments of $421.85 over a 48-month period. Consider the following situations:a.Instead of going through the dealer's financing, you want to make a down payment of $1,800 and take out an auto loan from a bank at 11.75% compounded monthly. What would be your monthly payment to pay off the loan in four years?b.

Suppose you bought a condo for $100,000 financing it with a $20,000 down payment of your own funds and an $80,000 mortgage loan from a bank. Assume that the market value of your condo has now risen to $120,000.  Ignoring interest and other costs, and assuming the loan amount is still $80,000, calculate your rate of return on your asset (ROA) and your rate of return on equity (ROE).

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 0.45% at a time when infialion is around 0 9% 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 necessay.) Il banks expect that the rate of inflation in the coming year will be 3.9% and they want a real return of 8% on a certain category of loans, then the nominal rate they should charge borrowers on those loans is %. (Round your response to two decimal places) 11 the economy experiences an unexpectedly high rate of inflation, the group that would tend to benefit is O A. creditors (people or institutions that are owed money). O B. deblors (pcople or businesses who owe moncy). OC. both would benefit cgqually O D. neilher bencfits.
