The following market value (mark-to-market) balance sheet information is available for Delasho 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.
