Consider a 5-year bond with annual coupon payments. The bond has a face value (principal) of $100 and sells for $95. Its coupon rate is 3%. (The coupon rate is the ratio between the coupon value and the face value). The face value is paid at the maturity year in addition to the last coupon payment.

Assets (Billion AUD) Liabilities (Billion AUD)

Bond 80 Fixed-rate liabilities 60

where \Bond" here refers to the bond we specified above and the fixed-rate liabilities (banks future payment obligations) have an average duration of 4 years and YTM of 3%. Their YTM changes in the same way as a 5-year T-bill interest rate. 3. Bank's equity is the difference between its assets and its liabilities. How does a bank's equity change, if the T-bill interest rate increases by 10 basis points? (2 marks)
