Suppose Bank A has $35 million in rate-sensitive assets, $70 million in fixed rate assets, $70 million in rate sensitive liabilities, and $35 million in fixed rate liabilities and equity capital.

You are analyzing how interest rates affect the equity value of a bank using a duration analysis. After examining the balance sheet of the bank, you noticed that the value of its total assets and liabilities are $400M and $360M, respectively. You also determined that the duration gap of the bank is equal to 4.0 years. Using a duration analysis, you would like to predict the response of the bank’s equity value (in percentage terms) to a 0.1 percent increase in the market interest rate. You decided to assume that a one percentage point change in the rate is approximately equal to a one percent change in the rate. Following this approach, determine the percentage response of the bank’s equity to this change in the market interest rate. Group of answer choices -0.4% -4.0% 0.4% -3.6% -0.1%
Suppose Bank A has $35 million in rate-sensitive assets, $70 million in fixed rate assets, $70 million in rate sensitive liabilities, and $35 million in fixed rate liabilities and equity capital. Calculate the change in Bank A’s profit as a result of an increase in market interest rates of 2 percentage points.
Suppose Bank A has $35 million in rate-sensitive assets, $70 million in fixed rate assets, $70 million in rate sensitive liabilities, and $35 million in fixed rate liabilities and equity capital. What is the value of Bank A’s GAP?
Suppose that a 1 percent increase in the (annual) interest rate leads to a 3.9 percent drop in the equity value of the bank. The ratio Debt/Assets=0.85 for this bank. Using a duration analysis, you estimated the effective duration gap for the bank implied by these numbers. You assumed that a one percent change in the rate is approximately the same as a one percentage point change in the rate. This implied duration gap is: Group of answer choices 0.59 years 3.32 years 0.17 years 2.73 years 4.59 years

The bank has equity totaling $2 billion and its return on equity is currently 12%. Estimate what change in interest rates next year would lead to the bank's return on equity being reduced to zero. Assume that the bank is subject to a tax rate of 30%.
