Question

The following market value (mark-to-market) balance sheet information is available for Duguay State Bank (amounts in $ thousands and duration in years):

                                                                        Book Value     Market Value

                        Assets                                      Amount           Amount                       Duration         

                        T-bills                                       $ 180             $ 180                            0.50    

                                Loans*                                     5,000             ______                      _____

                        Total Assets                              5,180             ______

                       

                        Liabilities

                        Deposits                                  4,184             4,184                           1.00

                        Total Liabilities                      4,184               4,184

                       

                        Equity                                        996               _______

                        Total Lia and NW                   5,180               _______

*Since this is a simple bank, it has only one type of loan. The loan has a $5,000 book value (current outstanding principal), amortized loan with annual payments, an interest rate of 6 percent, and 20-years to maturity. Similar loans today would have an interest rate of 7 percent which is the market yield.

Using Excel, determine the market value and duration of the loan and fill in the blanks in the balance sheet above. Please include a copy of your Excel Spreadsheet with your completed exam. What is the average duration of all the assets?

       Weighted Average Duration Assets:

b. What is the average duration of all the liabilities?

       Weighted Average Duration Liabilities:

c. What is the leverage-adjusted duration gap? What is the interest rate risk exposure?

      

       DG = DA - kDL =

        

d. What is the forecasted impact on the market value of equity caused by a relative upward shift in the entire yield curve of 1.5 percent [i.e., Dr/(1+r) = 0.0150]?

The market value of the equity will change by the following:

MVE = -DG * (A) * r/(1 + r) =   

e. What variables are available to the financial institution to immunize the balance sheet? Taking one variable at a time, how much would each variable need to change to get DGAP equal to 0?

     To immunize the institution for interest rate risk, the Leverage Adjusted DG needs to be zero:

       DG = DA –kDL = 0

       The choice is to make the duration of assets equal to:

      

       DA =

       or the duration of liabilities equal to:

         

        DL =

          Or some combination thereof.

Explanation / Answer

Since, there are multiple parts to the question, the first five have been answered.

__________

Part 1)

The market value of the loan can be calculated with the use of Present Value (PV) function/formula of EXCEL/Financial Calculator. The function/formula for PV is PV(Rate,Nper,PMT,FV) where Rate = Market Yield, Nper = Period, PMT = Interest Payment and FV = Book Value.

________

Here, Rate = 7%, Nper = 20, PMT = 5,000*6% = $300 and FV = $5,000

Using these values in the above formula for PV, we get,

Market Value of Loan = PV(7%,20,300,5000) = $4,470.30

________

Part 2)

The duration of the loan is calculated as follows:

Duration of the Loan = 52,272.82/4,470.30 = 11.69

________

Part 3)

The completed balance sheet is as follows:

________

Part 4)

The weighted average duration of the assets is calculated as follows:

Weighted Average Duration of Assets = (180*.50 + 4,470.30*11.69)/(180 + 4,470.30) = 11.26 years

________

Part 4)

The weighted average duration of the liabilities is calculated as follows:

Weighted Average Duration of Liabilities = (4,184*1)/4,184 = 1 Year

________

Part 5)

The leverage-adjusted duration gap is calculated as follows:

Leverage-Adjusted Duration Gap = 11.26 - (4,184/4,650.3)*1 = 10.36 Years

Since, the duration gap is positive, an increase in interest rates would result in a decline in the market value of equity. This is the interest rate exposure faced by the bank.
