Chapter 10, Problem 20P
Consider two local banks. Bank A has 100 loans outstanding, each for $1 million, that it expects will be repaid today. Each loan has a 5% probability of default, in which case the bank is not repaid anything. The chance of default is independent across all the loans. Bank B has only one loan of $100 million outstanding, which it also expects will be repaid today. It also has a 5% probability of not being repaid. Explain the difference between the type of risk each bank races. Which bank faces less risk? Why?

Consider two local banks. Bank A has 95 loans outstanding, each for $1.0 million, that it expects will be repaid today. Each loan has a 4% probability of default, in which case the bank is not repaid anything. The chance of default is independent across all the loans. Bank B has only one loan of $95 million outstanding, which it also expects will be repaid today. It also has a 4% probability of not being repaid. Which bank faces less risk? Why?
A. The expected payoff is higher for Bank A, but is riskier. I prefer Bank B.
B. The expected payoffs are the same, but Bank A is less risky. I prefer Bank A.
C. In both cases, the expected loan payoff is the same: $95 million×0.96=$91.2 million. Consequently, I don't care which bank I own.
D. The expected payoffs are the same, but Bank A is riskier. I prefer Bank B.
Consider two local banks. Bank A has 83 loans outstanding, each for $1.0 million, that it expects will be repaid today.
Each loan has a 3% probability of default, in which case the bank is not repaid anything. The chance of default is
independent across all the loans. Bank B has only one loan of $83 million outstanding, which it also expects will be
repaid today. It also has a 3% probability of not being repaid. Which bank faces less risk? Why?
(Select the best choice below.)
O A. The expected payoff is higher for Bank A, but is riskier. I prefer Bank B.
B. The expected payoffs are the same, but Bank A is less risky. I prefer Bank A.
C. The expected payoffs are the same, but Bank A is riskier. I prefer Bank B.
D. In both cases, the expected loan payoff is the same: $83 million x 0.97 = $80.5 million. Consequently, I don't
care which bank I own.
Consider two local banks. Bank A has 77 loans outstanding, each for $1.0 million, that it expects will be repaid today. Each loan has a 4%
probability of default, in which case the bank is not repaid anything. The chance of default is independent across all the loans. Bank B has
only one loan of $77 million outstanding, which it also expects will be repaid today. It also has a 4% probability of not being repaid.
Calculate the following:
a. The expected overall payoff of each bank.
b. The standard deviation of the overall payoff of each bank.

- Two types of borrowers, type A and B, are requesting a loan in the amount of $44,000. Type A repays with prob. 1, while type B repays with prob. 0.76. If a bank cannot observe type, but believes that fraction 0.8 of the borrower pool is type A, then what is the competitive pooling rate the bank can offer these borrowers? 8.7% 7.7% 6.5% 5.0%arrow_forwardBank A pays 5% interest compounded annually on deposits, while Bank B pays 4.25% compounded daily. a. Based on the EAR (or EFF%), which bank should you use? You would choose Bank A because its EAR is higher. You would choose Bank B because its EAR is higher. You would choose Bank A because its nominal interest rate is higher. You would choose Bank B because its nominal interest rate is higher. You are indifferent between the banks and your decision will be based upon which one offers you a gift for opening an account. b. Could your choice of banks be influenced by the fact that you might want to withdraw your funds during the year as opposed to at the end of the year? Assume that your funds must be left on deposit during an entire compounding period in order to receive any interest. If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 year for Bank A and 1 day for Bank B), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a withdrawal during the…arrow_forwardTai Credit Corp. wants to earn an effective annual return on its consumer loans of 16.5 percent per year.
