Suppose that the zero rates with continuous compounding (per annum) for different maturities in the market are given as: 3-month = 7.6%, 6-month = 7.8%, 9-month = 8.0%, 12-month = 8.1%, 15-month = 8.2%, 18-month = 8.4%. Assume that a bank can borrow or lend at the zero rates in the market. What is the value of an FRA where it will earn 9.0% for a three-month period starting in one year on a principal of £1,000,000? The interest rate is expressed with quarterly compounding. Select one: a. £692.47 b. £902.58 c. £691.93 d. £901.05

Suppose SBD Bank has RSA of $150m and RSL of $140m. If interest rates rise by 1 percent on both RSAs and RSLs, what would be the expected annual change in net interest income (ΔNII) based on $GAP? Show your work.
Suppose two firms want to borrow money from a bank for a period of 10 years. Firm A has excellent credit and can borrow at the prime rate, whereas Firm B's credit standing is prime rate plus 2 percent. The current prime rate is 5.75 percent, the 30-year Treasury bond yield is 4.35 percent, the three-month Treasury bill yield is 3.54 percent, and the 10-year Treasury note yield is 4.24 percent. What are the appropriate loan rates for both the firms? 6.45% for Firm A, 7.75% for Firm B 6.45% for Firm A, 8.45% for Firm B 5.75% for Firm A, 8.45% for Firm B None of the above
Suppose that deflation occurs in the U.S. economy and that the CPI (as a measure of f ) is expected to decrease an average of 2%per year for the next five years. A bond with a face (par) value of $10,000 and a life of five years (i.e., it will be redeemed in five years) pays an interest (bond) rate of 5% per year. The interest is paid to the owner of the bond once each year. If an investor expects a real rate of return of 4% per year, what is the maximum amount that should be paid now for this bond?
Suppose that North bank currently charges a 3.5% fixed interest rate on a six -year auto loan and pays a 2.5% interest rate to customers who buy 6-month CDs. Suppose that at the end of the six-month period depositors roll over the funds in the CD for another six months. Then the interest rate spread is ? Suppose now that market interest rates increase by 0.4%. This means that North bank has to pay a (Higher, lower, the same) interest rate on CDs when they mature, while charging (Higher, lower, the same) interest rate on the six -year auto loans. What will happen to the interest rate spread? (choose 1) It decreases to 0.6% and the North bank's interest income rises. It becomes equal to 2.9% and the North bank's interest income rises. It increases to 2.5% and the North bank's interest income falls. It decreases to 0.6% and the North bank's interest income falls.
Suppose that a company defaults always happen halfway through a year and that payments on its credit default swap (CDS) are made once a year, at the end of each year. Suppose that the risk-free rate is 3% per annum with continuous compounding, the recovery rate is 30% and the default probability of the company in the CDS is 2% in any year conditional on no earlier default. What is the credit default swap spread in a three-year swap in basis points?
A commercial bank estimates that its fixed rate assets are earning an average interest income of 10%, while its variable rate liabilities are forecast to pay the interest rates below: End of Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 LIBOR 7% 8% 12% 13% 11% Interest Rate Ceiling 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% Suppose it sets up an interest rate ceiling arrangement with another financial institution at 10%. Assuming a notional amount of $50,000,000 and using the LIBOR forecast for each year to discount back the payments incurred, what would be the present value of these payments?

Cal Bank believes the US Dollar will appreciate over the next five days from GHS 4.48 to GHS 4.50. The following annual interest rates apply: Currency Lending Rate Borrowing RateDollars 7.10% 7.50%Ghana Cedis 6.80% 7.25% Cal Bank has the capacity to borrow either GHS 10 million or $5 million. If Cal Bank's forecast is correct, what will its dollar profit be from speculation over the five-day period (assuming it does not use any of its existing consumer deposits to capitalize on its expectations)?
