20. You are required to negotiate an export bill for USD 150000.00 at 60
days after sight drawn under a LC. Assuming the following rates in the inter
bank market calculate the exchange rate to be quoted bearing in mind that
the required exchange margin is 0.150% , NTP is 20 days and interest is to
be collected at 11% p.a. at the time of negotiation and recoverable from the
customer.
SPOT USD1= Rs.48.2000/48.2500 and premia are

one month-0.0800/0100, 2 month 0.1500/0.1650 and 3 month

0.2300/0.2400
ANS: Since the NTP is 20 days and usance of the bill is 60 days the forward
rate should be that as applicable to 80 days. Since this is a buying
transaction the premium for 2 months is only considered because of the
principle give less. The working of the rate is as under:
Inter bank rate + premium= 48.200+ 0.1500 = 48.3500
Exchange margin @ 0.150% is reduced from the above = 48.3500- 0.0545
= 48.2955 and when rounded off it is 48.2950
Amount payable to the customer = 150000* 48.3500 =Rs.7252500
Interest recoverable = {7252500* 80*11}/ 36500= Rs174854.79

the gain/loss on the holding if the portfolio yield increases by 12 basis points
?
a) Loss of Rs 1265.16
b) loss of Rs 1214.68
c)

loss of Rs 612000

d)

Insufficient data

Ans : c

Yield is inversely proportionate to market price..

So increase in yield..
Will decrease the market price. ..
Means loss in holding the portfolio. ..
BPV is Change in price by 1 basis point ( 0.01%) change in yield..

So by change in the yield by 12 basis points or 12 BPV..

Change in price will be..
= 12 51000

Loss of rs 6,12,000 per Cr
34. A 20 YR 11% Semi-annual bond @ market yield of 9.80% has 15
Yr remaining for maturity> Mc CauleyS duration of the bond is 9.2 Yr. What
is the approximate change in price if the market yield goes down by 1% ?
a) Price increases by 8.70%
b) Price increases by 8.77%
c) Price decreases by 8.87%
d) Price decreases by 9.20%
ans : b Modified duration is McCauley's duration discounted by one period
yield to maturity
Modified duration =
McCauley's duration / ( 1 + yield )
=
=
=
=

9.2 / ( 1 + 9.8%)
9.2 / ( 1 +0.098)
9.2 / ( 1.098)
8.37 = modified duration

% change in price = - modified duration yield change

= - 8.37 (-1%)
= (+)8.37 %
+ means increase in price
So 8.37 % increase in price. .

35. Say Mr. X purchase 2000 shares of stock A at Rs 125 per share
and 1000 shares of stock B at Rs 90 per share. The price is expected
to fluctuate 2% daily for stock A and 1.25% daily stock B (daily
volatility figure estimated from past data) . He estimates daily potential
loss to be Rs 6350 approximately. The market factor sensitivity of the
portfolio is..
a) Rs 6350
b) Rs 3000
c) Rs 6.35
d) None of these

ans:d should be ....d

Because market factor sensitivity of portfolio is...
1% of total position. .
Here total position in portfolio is..
1252000 + 90 1000
= 250000 + 90000
= 340000
1 % of total position
= 3400 rs
36. A bond portfolio having a bond A (market Value Rs 300 Crs and
MD of 3.5 Yr) and bond B (market value Rs 500 Crs and MD of 05 Yrs)
What is the BPV of the portfolio ?
a) Rs 44375 per crore

b) Rs 4437.50 per crore

c) Rs 44375 per million
d) Rs 4437.50 per million
Explanation. .
BPV of bond A ...
Change in price =
Modified duration yield change
= 3.5 0.01 (basis point change)
=0.035
BPV of bond B
Samilarily
Change in price =
Modified duration yield change
= 5.0 0.01 (basis point change)
= 0.050
BPV of portfolio is equal to. .
Weighted average of BPV
= (0.035300 + 0.050 500)/800
= (10.5 + 25)/ 800
= 35.5 / 800
= 0.044375
That is on 100 face value

For per crore we should multiply by 100000

So we get 4437.50 per crore..

37. Say Mr. X purchase 2000 shares of stock A at Rs 125 per share
and 1000 shares of stock B at Rs 90 per share. The price is expected
to fluctuate 2% daily for stock A and 1.25% daily stock B (daily
volatility figure estimated from past data) . He estimates daily potential
loss to be Rs 6350 approximately. What is the VaR of 99% confidance
interval(corresponding to 2.33 standard deviation) (Assume that the
stocks have zero correlation)
a) Rs 14795.50
b) Rs 6350
c) Rs 19050
d) None of these
ans: a refer page 251 and 252
How they arrive at option a..
Daily estimated loss is 6350
Daily percentage loss is..
= (daily loss / total position) 100
Daily loss = 6350
Total position
= 2000 125 + 1000 90
= 250000 + 90000
= 340000
Daily percentage loss
= (6350/340000) 100
= 0.018676 100
= 1.8676 %

So for getting loss at 99 % confidence level...

Defeasance factor
= Daily percentage loss standard deviation
= 1.8676 2.33
= 4.3516 %
So VaR of portfolio is.
= tatal position Defeasance factor
= 340000 4.3516

= 14795.50
That is option a

38. Two stocks A and B have negative correlation of 80% between them
the portfolio consists of 100 units of stock a ( market price Rs 100 ) and
200 units of stock b ( market price Rs 200) if price of stock A moves up
by 10 % what would be gain/loss on the portfolio ?
a) gain Rs 4200
b) loss Rs 2200
c) Loss rs 600
d) non of these
ans : b Explanation. .
Co relation is 80% = 0.80
Which is negative. .
Means. .
two stock price is inversely related. ..
If price of stock a goes up
Then price of stock b goes down. ..

Factor is by 0.80..
Here stock price of a goes up by 10 %..
Current price of stock a is 110 rs...
Also price of stock b is goes down by 10%0.80 = 8%
Current price of stock b..
Will be 200 (1-.08%)
= 184 rs. .
Gain in stock a
= 110100 - 100100
= 11000 - 10000
= 1000
Loss in sock b
= 184200 - 200200
= 36800 - 40000
= -3200
In totally. .
= 1000+(-3200)
= -2200

39 What would be issue price of a CP carrying an interest rate of 8 %

and maturity of 06 manths expressed as% of notional value ?
a) 100 %

b) 92.59%
c) 96.15%

d) none of these
ans:c
= (100/104) 100
= 96.15384
= 96.15
Interest rate = 8 % annual
For six months it should be 4 %
CPs are issued at discount prices. .
So if face value is 100..
Then 8 % annual.
4% for semi annual. .
Issue price (1+ 4%) = 100
Issue price 1.04 = 100
Issue price = 100/1.04
= 96.15384
= 96.15

42. For estimating level of operational risk, abank estimates probability of
occurrence on historical frequency and maps it on a 5 point scale where
1. implies negligible risk
2. Implies low risk
3. implies medium risk
4. implies high risk
5. implies very high risk

For estimating potential financial impact it relies on past observations and

severly of impact I s also mapped on a scale of 5 as mentioned above
In one of the OR category the bank finds that probability of occuerence
stands mapped at 2 and potential financial impact is mapped at 5
Estimateed impact of internal control is 50% . What is the level of
operational risk for the given OR category?
a)
b)
c)
d)

Low risk
Medium risk
High risk
Very high risk
Ans : b
Explanation. ...
.
Estimated level of operational risk =
Estimated probability of occurrence estimated potential financial
impact Estimated impact of internal controls
Firstly we assume 5 level risk in numbers. ..
Scale of risk. .
Very high - 5
High - 4
Medium - 3
Low - 2
Negligible - 1
So probability of occurrence
= average = 2
Potential financial impact
= high = 5
Impact of internal control
= 50 %
For calculation. .

Estimated level of operational risk =

Square root of (2 5 ( 1-50%))
= square root of (10 0.50)
= square root of 5
= 2.23
= medium risk

50 An individual purchases a call option for 500 shares of A with
strike price at Rs 120 (Present price Rs 100) and remaining maturity of
03 months at a premium of Rs 40 . On maturity shares of A was

priced at Rs 140. Taking interest cost @ 12% p.a . what is the profit
earned by the individual on the transaction ?
a) No loss no profit
b) Rs 600 loss
c) Rs 10600 loss
d) None of these
Ans : c Explanation. .
Call option ..
He will pushase 500 shares of A..at a price of 120
Tatal value of shares is..
60000
Then he will sell the total shares in the market at a price of 140..
500 140
= 70000
So profit of 10000 in the transaction. .
But he has to pay the premium for call options. .
Which is 40 500
= 20000
And for getting this much fund interest cost is..
= 20000 3 % for 3 months (12% p.a for 03 months 12/4=3)
= 600
Total premium + premium cost
= 20000 + 600
= 20600
In totality. ..
= 10000 - 20600
= - 10600

Only difference amount of interest will be paid...
By one party to another party. ..
two parties
1... fixed interest rate payer who will pay 9 % fixed interest rate
2 ...floating interest rate payer...
Who will pay 2 + MIBOR interest rate
MIBOR is at the end of last quarter is 4 %
So total floating rate us 6 %..
And difference of interest rate is..
= 9 - 6= 3 %
Means fixed interest rate payer will pay the difference of interest to floating
interest rate party..
Notional value..
10 crore. .

2)
3)
4)

12%
15.23%
13.04%
14.66%

Ans: 3 From 300000

8 % should be made for SLR requirements
So available fund for making loans(asset)
= 300000 - 8% of 300000
= 300000 - 24000
= 276000
For this fund 276000
Bank is paying 12 % on 300000
Cost of fund is 36000

So making no loss ..
Bank has to lend money at that interest rate..
Which will cover this cost of funding that is 36000
36000 = 276000 r /100
36000/276000 = r / 100
0.1304 = r / 100
r = 13.04 %
