Interest-rate risk depends on each bank's relative position of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. You begin the analysis by collecting the information and estimates. The table above contains all the relevant information. To prepare your presentation for the bank officers, you anticipate and answer the following questions (5 points each): 1. What are the totals for interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities for your firm and your competition. 2. Compute the net interest margin (NIM) for your firm for a 3% decline in interest rates. Do the same for a 3% increase in the interest rates. 3. Find the gap of your firm and your competition. 4. Using the Macaulay concept of duration, calculate the weighted duration of each asset and liability for both your firm and your competition. 5. What is the average duration for the assets and liabilities for your firm and your competition. 6. What is the duration gap for your firm and your competition.
