END OF SECTION C END OF QUESTION PAPER

Suggested Answers Management of Financial Institutions – I (321): January 2005 Section A : Basic Concepts 1.

Answer : (d) Reason : By open market purchase RBI purchases Treasury securities from the market which causes an increase in the money supply, which in turn causes interest rates to fall.

< TOP >

2.

Answer : (c) Reason : The banking system’s excess reserves ratio is negatively related to the market interest rate and positively related to expected deposit outflows, since increase in interest will make lending more attractive than investing in government securities and expected increase in deposit outflows will induce banks to increase CRR.

< TOP >

3.

Answer : (e) Reason : If interest rate increases and maturity gap is positive, then increase in interest income will be more than the increase in interest expenditure.

< TOP >

4.

Answer : (b) Reason : If an increase in government spending results in a decrease in investment spending, the government spending is said to be crowding out investment.

< TOP >

5.

Answer : (c) Reason : By increasing Total Asses without increasing equity capital the bank can increase its total risk weighted assets thus increasing its leverage.

< TOP >

6.

Answer : (b) Reason : Berry’s categorization of the various social classes based on financial outlook defines lower-middle and poor class as rainy day segment.

< TOP >

7.

Answer : (d) Reason : Loans against hypothecation of goods carry credit risk. There is no credit risk in the case of loans against pledge and loans against gold since security is available to the lender with adequate margin. The off balance sheet items underwriting commitments, bank guarantees will give rise to the contingency risk..

< TOP >

8.

Answer : (b) Reason : Process is relevant to service sector like banking.

< TOP >

9.

Answer : (d) Reason : In the long run, when the economy is at full employment, changes in the money supply will only cause changes in nominal variables such as prices. For example, monetary expansion causes a short-run increase in output, but in the long run, wages and prices rise, and output returns to full employment.

< TOP >

10.

Answer : (c) Reason : Velocity of money = Nominal GDP / Money supply = 5000/1250 = 4.

< TOP >

11.

Answer : (a) Reason : In price level adjusted mortgage the internal rate of return is equal to or greater than inflation rate and mortgage payments vary as per the inflation rate.

< TOP >

12.

Answer : (e) Reason : In symmetric account banks pay interest as a function of minimal or average balance.

< TOP >

13.

Answer : (b) Reason : The type of intermediation in which financial intermediaries lend to risky borrowers and issue relatively safe and liquid securities in order to attract lendable funds from savers is known as default-risk intermediation.

< TOP >

14.

Answer : (c) Reason : Unclaimed deposit is classified under demand liabilities for the computation of NDTL.

< TOP >

15.

Answer : (c) Reason : In the long run, the rate of inflation must be equal to the rate of money supply growth. Thus expected inflation will be 4%, money demand will grow at a rate of 4% per year, and the real interest rate will be constant.

< TOP >

16.

Answer : (d) Reason : ALM (Asset - Liability Management) is a strategic balance sheet exercise, that involves, managing of risks caused by changes in (i) Interest rates (ii) Exchange rates and (iii) Liquidity position of Banks / F/s

< TOP >

17.

Answer : (d) Reason : Since the interest rates for the long term will be higher than the rates for short term under liquidity theory, the yield curve will be sloping upward. Pure expectation theory does not explicitly say that the yield curve will be an upward sloping, it may be downward sloping also. Preferred habitat theory states that higher interest rate with longer maturities can not be applicable for all the maturities. Hence, it is not assumed that the yield curve will be an upward sloping. Market segmentation theory states that interest rates depends on the demand for and supply of funds.

< TOP >

18.

Answer : (c) Reason : The risk exposure of a basis swap with remaining maturity up to 2 years is 1% and for every additional year is 1%, hence for 4 years (1% + 2 × 1%) = 3%.

< TOP >

19.

Answer : (e) Reason : As real output increases and thus incomes increase, individuals will wish to make more purchases, and money demand increases, which causes a rise in interest rates. This in turn causes a fall in bond prices, which are inversely related to the interest rate.

< TOP >

20.

Answer : (a) Reason : (1 + PLR3)3

< TOP >

PLR3 21.

=

(1 + PLR2) (1 + f21) =

(1 + 0.10)2 (1 + 0.11)

=

10.33%.

Answer : (b) Reason : If fixed rate of interest is charged for a loan, which is funded by a floating rate of deposit, then downward movement or decrease in the interest rate in the floating rate of deposit will increase the spreads.

< TOP >

22.

Answer : (d) Reason : A reverse repo agreement is a purchase of securities with a contract to resell them at a higher price at a specific future date. So when RBI wants to conduct a temporary open market sale operation it first purchases the securities and sells them later.

< TOP >

23.

Answer : (a) Reason : Statement under (a) is false as liquidity risk management tries to achieve liquidity by borrowing funds.

< TOP >

24.

Answer : (c) Reason : Suppose, loan amount

< TOP >

Interest earned

= Rs. 100 = Rs.13.50

Part of the loan financed through capital = Rs.12 Interest on capital = 12 x 0.09 = Rs.1.08 Return from loan = 13.50 – 1.08 = Rs.12.42 or, 12.42% 25.

< TOP >

Answer : (b) Reason : Suppose, Deposit

= Rs. 100

( – ) CRR

= Rs. 5.50

6 − 0.10 94.50

= 6.24%

26.

Answer : (a) Reason : If actual inflation is less than expected inflation, then real interest rates are more than expected. This hurts borrowers but helps lenders.

< TOP >

27.

Answer : (d) Reason : It is true, that when D Gap is negative, if interest rates decline, the market value of the equity decreases.

< TOP >

Section C: Applied Theory 6.

Duration is defined as weighted average term to maturity of assets or liabilities over which cash flows are expected and the present value of the cash flows are treated as weights. It immunizes interest rate risk by holding an investment till the end of Duration, instead of maturity. Duration can play a major role in an integrated Asset/Liability management strategy as an alternative for the time dimension of an asset or liability. It studies the effect of the rate fluctuation on the market value of the assets and liabilities and NIM – with the help of Duration. It studies the effect on NII for the given Duration gaps and also studies the impact on the MVE for the rate fluctuation. It overcomes the limitations of the maturity gap approach wherein the time value of money for the cash flows while determining the gap, is ignored. It concentrates on the price risk and reinvestment risk, while managing interest rate exposure. Measuring the duration gap is more complex than measuring the maturity gap due to the difficulty in identification of the timing of cashflows for both the assets and liabilities.

Sum of (the discounted cashflow of each year × period t) Sum of the present value of all the cashflows

Duration = Based on the above method, the duration of Rate Sensitive Assets and liabilities are found out. The Rate Sensitive Gap is measured. Rate Sensitive Gap (RSG) = Rate Sensitive Assets (RSA) – Rate Sensitive Liabilities (RSL) To find out the RSG, only the assets and liabilities having duration of less than one year alone is considered because of the NII being measured annually any change in the interest rate would affect only the corresponding assets and liabilities. Hence, it would be appropriate to have one year time horizon for measuring the impact of duration gap on NII for the given changes in interest rates. When the RSG is negative, a rise in interest rate will decrease the NII and vice versa. When the Duration gap is NIL, the NIM remains protected for any changes in the interest rate. A positive gap leads to rise in the NIM, while negative gap indicates a fall in NIM. Thus, the impact of rate fluctuations using the Duration is similar to maturity gap approach. Besides measuring the impact on NII, the duration can further be used to study the sensitivity of the market value of the assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. Excess of assets over the liabilities gives the gap / surplus available to the shareholders. Duration analysis measures the Duration of the surplus in order to assess the exposure of the shareholders wealth to the interest rate risk. Since the surplus is given by the difference between the assets and liabilities, the Duration gap can be represented as follows: DS × S

= (DA × A) – (DL × L)

DS = DL + (A/S) (DA–DL)

Thus, the Duration gap is the composite duration of liabilities and the multiple of the difference between composite duration of assets and liabilities and the net surplus ratio. Once the Duration of the surplus is determined, the effect of the rate fluctuation on the market value of the asset/liability is calculated by the following method: Duration (change in int.rate) ×Current Market Value [1 + r]

Change in Market Value = r = Current rate of interest The new market value of the asset/liability will now be the sum of the original MV and the changes in the MV as compared above. New MV = Original Value + or (–) Change in M.V. (-) D(Ar) × Current MV (1 + r)

Change in MV = Once the impact of interest rate movement is found on the market value of equity is found, it is the question of protecting the market value of equity to the present level. How to immunize the interest rate risk? This can be possible only when the Duration of the surplus is zero, as it is in the case of zero coupon bond, the effect of interest rate changes will be eliminated. To make the duration of the surplus to zero, the duration of assets/liabilities is to be adjusted. While adjusting the Duration of assets and liabilities, the alternatives available are:

i.



Perfectly match the duration of assets and liabilities



A mismatch in Duration of assets and liabilities

Perfectly match the duration of assets and liabilities The following formula is used to find out the duration of the surplus. DS = DL + [A/S] × [DA – DL] If Duration of A & L are perfectly matched, the equation will be as follows: DS = DA – DL Duration of surplus will be equal to the Duration of assets/liabilities. Hence, the interest rate risk will not be eliminated. Substituting the duration in the above formula, the duration of surplus will not become zero and it will be again equal to the duration of the liability. Hence perfect matching the duration of assets and liabilities will not immunize the interest rate risk.

ii.

A mismatch in Duration of assets and liabilities To make the duration of the surplus to zero in the above formula i.e. Ds = 0: 0 = DL + (A/S) (DA – DL) (DA – DL) OR

=

DL (A/S)

-D L (A - L) A

(DA – DL) = Using any of the above equations, the Duration of surplus can be equated to “0” thereby immunizing the Market Value of Equity for the rate fluctuation. This can be done by adjusting the duration of (1) Assets, (2) Liabilities, (3) both Assets and Liabilities. It is comparatively easier to adjust the Duration of assets than the liabilities, as bank has flexibility in creating assets suiting its prerequisites. < TOP >

The following are the main types of burglary insurance policies: 1. Burglary (Business Premises) Insurance Policies The perils covered are burglary and housebreaking. The policy may be extended to cover the perils of riot and strikes, robbery, dacoity and hold-up, on payment of additional premium. Any or all of the following property in any business premises can be covered: i. Stock-in-trade ii. Goods held in trust or on commission iii. Furniture, fixture and fittings iv. Cash and currency notes in locked safe. In addition to the loss of or damage to the insured property by any of the insured perils, the policy also covers the damage caused by the burglars to the premises containing the insured property. 2. Burglary (Private Dwellings) Insurance Policies The perils covered are burglary, housebreaking and theft (or larceny). All the contents of the insured in his private dwelling house are to be insured. The insurance has to be on full value basis. The total sum insured is to be divided under the following items: i. Furniture, fixtures and other household goods ii. Personal effects of every description iii. Jewelry and valuables. The sum insured on ‘jewelry and valuables’ cannot exceed one-third of the total sum insured, unless an extra premium is paid on the amount covering jewelry and valuables in excess of one-third of the total sum insured. Sometimes, the policies issued in respect of private dwellings also cover the peril of fire in addition to the perils of burglary, housebreaking and theft (larceny). These policies are then known as combined fire and burglary insurance policies. Currently, the issue of these policies is not common, and the modern trend is to issue composite insurance policies (also known as multi-peril policies). 3. All Risks Insurance Policies The perils covered are fire, burglary, housebreaking, theft (or larceny) and accidental external means. The policy is specially suitable for covering jewelry, valuables, curios, antiques and other works of art, paintings, watches, clocks, camera, opera glasses, furs, trinkets and other similar articles. Although these policies are known as all risks insurance policies, strictly speaking they are not all risks policies, because they do not cover all conceivable risks.

Baggage Insurance Policies These policies cover the wearing apparel and personal effects carried by the insured during journeys. Normally, jewelry and valuables are excluded, but wrist watches and fountain pens may be covered. The peril covered is theft, but accidental loss or damage is also covered by some insurers, pilferage is not covered. The cover is operative only when the insured is traveling by any accepted mode of travel. Temporary residence at any hotel or rest house during the course of travel, is also covered. The period of cover does not exceed one year. Money-in-transit Insurance Policies The property covered by these policies is money and/or securities in transit from one place to another. Sometimes, money and/or securities kept in the insured’s premises are also covered for short period of time. The perils covered for transit risks are theft, robbery and accident. If the money and/or securities kept in insured premises are also covered, the perils in respect of these risks are burglary and housebreaking only. The policy may be extended to cover riot and strikes risks, on payment of additional premium. The policy specifies the amounts viz. limit of the insurer’s liability for any one loss and the estimated amount in transit during the policy period. The former represents the maximum amount that the insurers may be required to pay in respect of such loss. The latter represents the amount to which the rate of premium is to be applied to arrive at the amount of premium. < TOP >
