Suppose the central bank wishes to increase the money supply by $500 million and
does so by purchasing one-year zero coupon bonds from an economic agent to
increase bank reserves. If the central bank buys bonds with an interest rate of 2.5%,
how many bonds must they buy to reach their targeted increase in the money supply?
Assume the required reserve ratio is 10% and commercial banks fully loan out. Hint:
you will need to use the money multiplier in this answer as well as bond pricing - a zero
coupon bond is a promise to pay $1000 in one year. Assume there is no currency in the
9. The treasurer of XYZ Corp. knows that the company will need to lend $100 million in one
year for a one year period. LIBOR rates today are at 4% but the company's treasurer expects
LIBOR rates to go down to 2% in 1 year. If treasurer's expectations turn out to be correct the
company will be forced to lend at a lower rate unless some sort of hedge is created to protect
the rate of return on the loan. In this situation the XYZ's spot market risk exposure is
and the treasurer should pay
and receive
under the FRA
agreement in order to hedge its spot market risk exposure.

A bank today makes $100 in 3-year loans with a 16 % fixed annual interest rate. It
funds the loans today with $100 in 1-year CDs that currently have a 7% annual
interest rate. It has the option of entering an interest rate swap contract. The
contract includes a variable rate of 4.5% and a fixed rate of 7.5%. If the bank chooses
to hedge its interest rate risk using a $100 notional value swap contract, what is the
bank's expected net interest income in the first year if all interest rates remain the
same throughout the year?

Javert Toy Company has $50.00 million in debt outstanding that pays an 8.75% APR coupon. The debt has an average maturity of 10.00 years. The firm can refinance at an annual rate of 5.25%. That is, investors want 5.25% today for bonds of similar risk and maturity. How much will Javert save on interest payments with this re-finance? You can assume that Javert will issue debt to cover the full price of repurchasing the old debt from part A.

- If the financial Manager of Evergreen wants to decrease its cost of capital by adding more debt to its capital structure and arrive at a debt-equity ratio of 0.60. If its debt is in the form of a 6% semiannual bond issue outstanding with 15 years to maturity. The bond currently sells for 95% of its face value of $1000. On the other hand, suppose the risk-free rate is 3% and the market portfolio has an expected return of 9% and the company has a beta of 2. If the tax rate is 40%. Question 1 Calculate the company,s after-tax cost of debt. Question 2 Calculate the company,s cost of equity. Question 3 What would be the company’s overall cost of capital (WACC) at the targeted capital structure of debt equity ratio of 0.60? Question 4 If the company achieves this new cost of capital, would your investment decision change regarding the previous two investment opportunities? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe 3 year USD bond issued by Company A has coupon of 11.5%, which the company thinks is too high. In fact the bond price has since risen substantially and current yield is 9.5%. The company thinks due to recent successful fund raising, interest rate will fall. Hence it wants to do interest rate swaps to change the payment from fixed rate to floating rate. Assuming that a bank is willing to do the trade up to USD notional of 1 million USD, it needs to consider the following facts to quote a price. Please give your best estimate, and rationale. 1. With the current 3 year USD swap rate of 1.4%, and bank receives the 11.5% coupon (payment is every 6 months, what is the Company’s credit risk premium? 2. If the Bank pays the Company 11.5% fixed rate to cover the coupon payment, what is the fair price the Company needs to pay the bank (assuming that the floating rate index is the 6 month Libor rate, currently at 1.72%)? 3. Please consider the credit risk premium the bank need to charge…arrow_forwardSuppose the rate of return on a 10-year T-bond is 5.30%, the expected average rate of inflation over the next 10 years is 1.50%, the MRP on a 10-year T-bond is 0.90%, no MRP is required on a TIPS, and no liquidity premium is required on any Treasury security. Given this information, what should the yield be on a 10-year TIPS? Disregard cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average. a. 2.90% b. 3.80% c. 4.33% d. 4.40% e. 2.86%arrow_forward
- A corporate customer obtains a $2 million loan from a bank. The annual spread between the interest rate of this loan and the bank’s cost of fund is 6%, and this bank charges an annual fee of 2.8%. The expected probability of default of this borrower is 9.6%, and the loss given default is 30.7%. Calculate the expected return on this loan based on Moody’s analytics portfolio manager model. Round your answer up to 4 decimal places in decimal term, i.e., enter 0.1234 instead of 12.34%.arrow_forwardYou are considering investing $10,000 in either U.S. Treasury bills or bank certificates-of-deposits (CDs).
