When you analyze the duration of loans, you find that the duration of the auto loans is two years, while the mortgages have a duration of seven years. Both the cash reserves and the checking and savings accounts have a zero duration. The CDs have a duration of two years and the long-term financing has a 10-year duration.

  1. a. What is the duration of Acorn’s equity?
  2. b. Suppose Acorn experiences a rash of mortgage prepayments, reducing the size of the mortgage portfolio from $150 million to $100 million, and increasing cash reserves to $100 million. What is the duration of Acorn's equity now? If interest rates are currently 4% but fall to 3%, estimate the approximate change in the value of Acorn’s equity.
  3. c. Suppose that after the prepayments in part (b), but before a change in interest rates, Acorn considers managing its risk by selling mortgages and/or buying 10-year Treasury STRIPS (zero-coupon bonds). How many should the firm buy or sell to eliminate its current interest rate risk?

A bank features a savings account that has an annual percentage rate of r=5.6% with interest compounded daily. Dylan deposits $2,500 into the account.

You are in need of regular short term financing to support your business. Three options appear attractive: 1. A standard line of credit in the sum of $500,000 at 18% annual interest for the funds used. You have between $75,000 and $1000,000 in cash coming in in a typical month, and usual monthly expenses of $80,000. At the start of the loan period, you have $120,000 in accounts payable. 2. Your bank is also offering a $1,000,000 5 year loan at 12%, and a requirement to keep $150,000 of that loan in your bank account at all times. You only need to pay the interest each moth, and pay off the million dollar principal at the end of the loan. You have the same revenue and expense profile given above. 3. A factor is also willing to buy your accounts receivable as they come in. They will buy 90% of your receivables at an 80% of fave value.
