The bank forecasts a 2 % increase in the interest rate. With the above information/ data please: a.

Compute the duration of assets and liabilities

b.

Compute the duration of surplus for the bank

c.

Assess the impact of change in the interest rate on the market value of assets, liabilities and equity

d.

Immunize the market value of the firm using the immunizing asset duration method. (3 + 3 + 8 + 4 = 18 marks)

Suggested Answer: a.

Duration of assets Duration of Assets (D a) = 0 {460/6750} +1{1240/6750} + 1{400/6750}+3{2800/6750) = 1.88

8

FIN623 MOFI (A) / 0205 Duration of liabilities Duration of liabilities: 0.5{1450/6600}=1{1150/6600}+2100/6600} +3{1900/6600} = 1.78 b.

DURRATION OF SURPLUS= DL+ A/S{ Da-Dl) = 1.78+{6750/150} X 1.87-1.78 == 6.28 The duration of surplus is 5.83, which is positive. This indicates that there will be a definite impact on the value of equity with any change in interest rates. Computation of the change in the market value of assets, liabilities and equity value, due to an increase in rte of interest by 2 %:

c.

Change in value of asset/ liability: -D X change in the interest rate X current market value/ (1+ r) Change in the value of the firm = change in market value of assets – change in market value of liabilities New market value = current value market + change in the market value Cost of deposits {1450 X0.04 + 1150X0.08 +2100X0.09+1900X0.1}/6600 = 8.015% Yield on assets: {1240X0.11+400X0.12+0.14) / 6750 = 12.10 % Change in asset value = { -1.88X0.22X6750/ (1+1.1210) }= -226.40 New value of assets = 6750 + (226.40) = 6523.60 Change in liabilities = (-1.78X0.02X6600)/ 1+0.08015 = - 217.53 New value of liabilities = 6600+ (- 217.53) = 6382.47 New value of the firm -= New value of assets- new value of liabilities = 6523.60 – 6382.47 = 141.13 Therefore: Change in value of rim = 141.13 –150 = -8.87

d.

Immunization of asset duration: To immunize the value of the firm the duration of assets can be changed, in order to get the immunizing asset duration ( DAZ) DLX L/a = 1.78 X 6600/6750 = 1.74 is immunizing asset duration: Change ion asset value = -1.74 X0.02 X6750 / 1+0.1210 = - 209.55 New value of asset = 6750+(-209.55)= 6540.45 New value of the liabilities = 6382.47 New value of the firm = New value of assets – New value of liabilities 6540-45 – 6382.47 = 157.98 Excess immunization of 7.98 has been due to different interest rates on deposit and assets.
