If Loan 1 defaults, the loss will be either $5m or $10m, with equal probability. If Loan 2 defaults, the loss will be either $2m, $4m, $6m, $8m or $10m, with equal probability. For each loan, a profit of $1m will be made in case of no default. (a) Calculate the one-year 97% VaR for the portfolio of two loans. (b) Calculate the one-year 97% ES for the portfolio of two loans
