A customer asks a bank if it would be willing to commit to making the customer a one-year loan at an interest rate of 6.5% two years from now. To compensate for the costs of making the loan, the bank needs to charge two percentage points more than the expected interest rate on a Treasury bond with the same maturity if it is to make a profit. The bank estimates the liquidity (term) premium for one-, two-, and three-year bond to be 0%, 0.5%, and 1%, respectively. According to the Treasury yield curve below, what interest rate the loan must charge in order for the bank to make a profit on the loan? Should the manager be willing to make the commitment? Choose the closest answer below,

A bank has assets of $500,000,000 and equity of $40,000,000. The assets have an average duration of 5.5 years, and the liabilities have an average duration of 2.5 years. An 8-year fixed-rate T-bond with the same coupon as the fixed-rate on the swap has a duration of 6 years, and the duration of a floating-rate bond that reprices annually is one year. The bank wishes to hedge its balance sheet with swap contracts that have notional contracts of $100,000. What is the optimal number of swap contracts into which the bank should enter?     2,500 contracts.     2,760 contracts.     13,800 contracts.     3,200 contracts.     None of the above.

If the owners choose to invest in bonds instead, they look at a $136,125.00 bond set to mature in 9 years with a bond rate of 2.00%, payable semi-annually. The market rate is 5.40%, compounded semi-annually. The owners will only purchase the bond if they can afford it with their savings ($123,750.00), and they can get the bond at a discount because they think the market rate will go down, potentially making the bond more valuable in the future. 2. Calculate the purchase price of the bond if it is purchased today (9 years before maturity). 3. Do the owners have enough money to buy their bond? Will they make the purchase?
