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. The account balance can be modeled by the exponential formula S(t)=P(1+rn)nt, where S is the future value, P is the present value, r is the annual percentage rate, n is the number of times each year that the interest is compounded, and t is the time in years. What values should be used for P, r, and n? P= , r= , n= How much money will Dylan have in the account in 10 years? Answer = $ . Round answer to the nearest penny.What is the annual percentage yield (APY) for the savings account? (The APY is the actual or effective annual percentage rate which includes all compounding in the year). APY= %.
