  2. The option positions hedge the forward position by 50%.
  3. The option positions hedge the forward position by 75%.
  4. The option positions hedge the forward position by 100%.

Answer(s): B



Which one of the following four options does NOT represent a benefit of compensating balances to the bank?

  1. Compensating balances allow the bank to net some of the exposure they may have in case of default, by taking funds from these specific deposit account one the borrower defaults.
  2. Since the compensating balances cannot be withdrawn at short notice, if at all, they are not considered transaction accounts and are able to provide a stable funding to the bank, reducing its reliance on more volatile external inter-bank based funding sources.
  3. Compensation balances influence the expected loss rate of the bank given the default obligor and improve capital structure by controlling obligor type and avoiding payment delays.
  4. Since the compensating balances reduce the next amount lent to the borrower, the earned return on the loan is increased, further widening the bank's interest rate margin and profitability.

Answer(s): C

  4. Thrifts and large commercial banks, where the risks become isolated.

Alpha Bank determined that Delta Industrial Machinery Corporation has 2% change of default on a one-year no-payment of USD $1 million, including interest and principal repayment. The bank charges 3% interest rate spread to firms in the machinery industry, and the risk-free interest rate is 6%. Alpha Bank receives both interest and principal payments once at the end the year. Delta can only default at the end of the year. If Delta defaults, the bank expects to lose 50% of its promised payment.

What may happen to the Delta's initial credit parameter and the value of its loan if the machinery industry experiences adverse structural changes?

  1. Probability of default and loss at default may decrease simultaneously, while duration rises causing the loan value to decrease.
  2. Probability of default and loss at default may decrease simultaneously, while duration falls causing the loan value to decrease.
  3. Probability of default and loss at default may increase simultaneously, while duration rises causing the loan value to decrease.
  4. Probability of default and loss at default may increase simultaneously, while duration falls causing the loan value to decrease.

Answer(s): D

q. 289 - the correct answer should be b not d, since the question asks for the most secure way to provide access to a s3 bucket (a single one), and by principle of the least privilege you should not be giving access to all buckets.
