Answer:

2129  futures contracts to be sold

Explanation:

Asset worth = $310 million

Asset duration = 12 years

liabilities = $248 million

Liabilities duration = 5 years

T-bond futures contracts = 104-20 (30nds)

% of assets = 310 / 248 =

<u>Determine how many futures contracts Village Bank will sell to fully hedge the balance </u>

Number of Contracts = -[Assets * (Asset Duration – (Liabilities Duration * % of Assets) / (Duration * Contract Value)]

 = - [ 310 * ( 12 - ( 5 * (310/248)) / ( 8 * ( 104 + ( 20/30)) ]

= - [ 310 * ( 12 -  6.25 ) / ( 8 * 104.6667 ) ]

= - [ 310 * 5.75 / 837.3336 ]

= - 2.12878 * 1000

= 2128.78 ≈  2129 ( number of futures contracts to be sold )

Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 6 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are curr
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds?

Laurel, Inc. = -8.11%

Hardy Corp. = -18.91%

B. If interest rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of these bonds be then?

Laurel, Inc. = +8.98%

Hardy Corp. = +25.49%

Explanation:

bonds with 6% semiannual coupons, sold at par $1,000

Laurel, Inc. bond maturity in 5 years

Hardy Corp. bond maturity in 18 years

the current price of a bond is the sum of the present value of its face value and coupons. I will use an annuity table to calculate PV of face value and an ordinary annuity table for the coupons:

Laurel, Inc.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.8203) + ($30 x 8.9826) = $820.30 + $269.48 = $1,089.78, % change = 89.78/1,000 = 8.98%

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.6756) + ($30 x 8.1109) = $675.60 + $243.33 = $918.93, % change = -81.07/1,000 = -8.11%

Hardy Corp.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.4902) + ($30 x 25.489) = $490.20 + $764.67 = $1,254.87, % change = 254.87/1,000 = 25.49%  

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.2437) + ($30 x 18.908) = $243.70 + $567.24 = $810.94, % change = -189.06/1,000 = -18.91%

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The dean has violated the brights of other members to be picked for the violation through this act of favoritism.

Explanation:

This dean has gone ahead to rewrite David's description. By so doing he has altered the job description to favor david. This shows a bias to David in the side of this dean thereby causing him to violate the act that says that there should be no discrimination or bias of my form.

Rewriting the job description to favor david is against the ethics of the distributive justice framework which says that the distribution of goods in a society must be done In an equitable manner for all. 2 principles of this are applicable here. The rights based justice and also the legal justice. Rights based justice demands that the rights of people bare respected which the dean has clearly also violated.
