Estimate the change in the value of the loan

Reference no: EM13213837

An insurance company issued a $90 million 1-year note at 8 per cent add on annual interest (paying one coupon at the end of the year) and used the proceeds to fund a $100 million face value 2-year commercial loan at 10 per cent annual interest. Immediately after these transactions were (simultaneously) undertaken, all interest rates went up 150 basis points.

a. Use the duration model to estimate the change in the value of the loan due to the increase in the interest rate.

b. Find the exact change in the value of the loan using the valuation formula.

c. Contrast the results obtained in (a) and (b). There is obviously a difference in the results. Explain what makes this difference and how the difference can be corrected. Show all workings and calculations.

Determine what will the cost function be : Now consider the production of Good Y. Unlike manufacturing Good Y, in this case, humans and robots are complements. The production function for Y is given by Y=f(H,R)=min(H,R). Again, the wage for humans is $15/hour

Define an unknown metal hypochlorite salt : An unknown metal hypochlorite salt, M(ClO)2, is subjected to analysis by iodometric titration: the salt is dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid, treated with excess aqueous KI,and then titrated with Na2S2O3. The unknown metal ion(M2+)

What is the cost function that producers face : Consider the production of Good X. Good X is produced using only labor, which can be supplied by either humans or robots, with the production function given by X=f(H,R)=H + R. Humans and robots are perfect substitutes for each other.

Estimate the change in the value of the loan : Use the duration model to estimate the change in the value of the loan due to the increase in the interest rate and find the exact change in the value of the loan using the valuation formula.

Explain sodium iodide and subjected to iodometric titration : The sample requires 48.24 mL of 0.08893 mol/L Na2S2O3 to reach the equivalence point. Assuming that the Au3+ and Li+ ions are unreactive during titration, determine the ass percent of LiClO sample.
