Finance Question - Liquidity Risk
SuperClass1. Consider a 3-yr corporate bond paying a coupon of 7% per year payable semi-annually and has a yield of 5% (expressed with semi-annual compounding). Assume the yield for all maturities on risk-free bonds is 4% per annum. Assume that default can take place every 6 months immediately before a coupon payment. Also assume that the recovery rate is 45%. Estimate the default probabilities assuming that the unconditional default probabilities are the same on each possible default date.

The asset-liability management committee has estimated that the loans, whose average interest rate is
| ||||||
6 percent and whose average life is three years, will have to be discounted at 10 percent if they are to
| ||||||
be sold in less than two days. If they can be sold in four days, they will have to be discounted at 8 percent.
| ||||||
If they can be sold later than a week, the DI will receive the full market value. Loans are not amortized; that is,
| ||||||
the principal is paid at maturity.
| ||||||
A) What will be the price received by the DI for the loans if they have to be sold in two days? In four days?
| ||||||
B) In a crisis, if depositors all demand payment on the first day, what amount will they receive? What will
| ||||||
they receive if they demand to be paid within the week? Assume no demand issurance
