Q
  1. All other factors equal, when risk free interest rates are falling, investments in floating rate bonds will increase in value faster than investments in fixed rate bonds.T/F
A

False.
In the case risk free interest rates are falling, a floating rate bonds coupon will fall as it re-sets its coupon. On the other hand, a fixed rate bonds coupon will not fall and therefore is preferred in this scenario.
rf goes down, debt value goes up, but with floating rate, the interest is going down when rf goes down.
When do you want to own floating bond? only when interest rate goes up.
When interest rate are falling, Debt value goes up, you want to own fixed rate with extremly long duration

A

True.
Next you need to ask yourself is if it is dirty price or clean price.
Clean price: pay accrual interest separately, the buyer will pay to seller the accrual.
Dirty price: no payment of accrual interest
e.g. (from notes ) i pmt is $50 at the end of the year. I buy the bond in the middle of the year, should I give $25 accrual i to the seller?
if it is yes, then the price is clean.
if not, then the price is dirty
market convention is U.S. is clean

	A)	$50,000,000
	B)	$66,667,000
	C)	$89,475,000
	D)  $100,000,000 
	E)	$46,667,000
A

1) Max. loan pmt = monthly NOI / Min. DSC
=10 m / 12/ 1.3 = 833,000 / 1.3 = 641,000
**set i/y = 12
N= 240
i =6%
FV = 0
Pmt = 641,000
Cpt PV = 89,475,000 (Loan since from min DSC )
2) LTV 70% * estimate P Value = 142,857,000 70% = 10 m
(loan size base on Max. LTV)
Leaser of 1) and 2)

Q 
10.  If you made the loan to purchase the office building at the loan size determined in question 9 above with an interest rate of 4.00% fixed, a maturity of 20 years fully amortizing, what would be the loan’s actual DSC ratio?
	A)	1.28
	B)	1.30
	C)	1.40
	D)  1.54
	E)	1.63
A

Actual DSC = NOI monthly / Monthly loan pmt (mortgage)

Monthly loan pmt: set i/y =12
N=240, i/y =4%, PV = loan size = 89,475,000, FV=0,
Cpt pmt = 542,201

833,000/542,201 = 1.536

D.	$1,010.60
A 
* Set i/y =1
n=5, i/y=rf + spread = 4 + .75 =4.75
pmt = 60
fv=1000

Q 
21. You are a bank operations officer responsible for calculating the interest due on a 3-month LIBOR floating rate loan.  Interest on the loan is due tomorrow on the loan’s most recent 3 month payment period and the details are as follows:
Principal Amount: $100,000
3-month LIBOR setting: 1.00%
Credit Spread: 2.00%
Interest Day Count Convention: 30/360
How much interest is due?
(a)	$750
(b)	$3,000
(c)	$250
(d)	$100,000
A

100,000 * (1% + 2% ) * 90/360 = 750 (notes is not 30/360)

Cash Convention Cycle (CCC) = + AR days + Inv days - AP days -Acc exp days
CCC= days sales outsanding (AR) + Days of sales in inventory - days of payables outstanding

In short: we want inflow shorter time, and prolong outflow time.
always want to Cash Convention Cycle lower.
We want to squeeze this cycle Bus -> Cash
